Ingredients
- 3 grams (1- 2 tablespoon) of loose tea or 2 tea bags
- 250 ml of water
- 1- 2 tbs Organic Cherry Juice
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Optional Sweeteners (per 250 ml)
- Pure Unpasteurized Honey: 1-2 teaspoons.
- Pure Organic Stevia: 0.5 ml
- Pure Organic Cane Sugar: 1-2 tablespoons
Instructions
Step 1: Brew the Tea
- Begin by bringing the water to a boil.
- Remove the water from heat and allow it to cool for about 2-3 minutes, until it reaches a temperature of 85 – 90 degrees Celsius.
- If using loose tea, place it in a cheesecloth or a tea infuser. Alternatively, you can directly add the leaves to the water and strain later.
- For tea bags, simply add them to the water.
Step 2: Steep the Tea
- Let the tea steep for as long as possible, even while it cools.
- Allow the tea leaves to leach completely, until the rose petals take on a delicate pinkish-white hue.
Step 3: Remove Tea Bags or Loose Tea
- Once the tea has cooled to room temperature, remove the tea bags or strain the loose tea.
- Ensure that the tea leaves are fully leached and the color has dissolved, indicated by the pinkish-white rose petals.
Step 4: Add the Cherry Juice
- Gently stir in Organic Cherry Juice.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
- Refrigerate the tea for at least an hour, or until thoroughly chilled.
- When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes.
- Pour the chilled Tea over the ice.
Step 6: Garnish and Enjoy
- Enhance the visual appeal by adding lemon slices to each glass.
- For an extra touch of freshness, garnish with a few sprigs of fresh mint.
Optional Sweetening
- If desired, sweeten your tea with your choice of sweetener:
- Pure Unpasteurized Honey: Add 1-2 teaspoons while the tea is steeping and the water is still hot.
- Pure Organic Stevia: Add 0.5 ml per 250 ml.
- Pure Organic Cane Sugar: Add 1-2 tablespoons per 250 ml.
Cheers to the art of tea and the pleasure it brings to our senses!
