Tasting notes
Invigorating & Refreshing
"This tea is a harmonious mix of fruity, tart, and floral flavors with a gentle earthy undertone. The combination of apple and apricot provides a soft sweetness, while the hibiscus and elderberries add a lively tartness. The rooibos offers a smooth, earthy base, balancing the sharper fruit notes. The orange peel and calendula add a refreshing, citrusy lift with floral hints, creating a vibrant, well-rounded blend with a tangy, fruity, and slightly sweet finish. This tea is perfect for a refreshing pick-me-up or a calming moment in the afternoon."
Steps to making the perfect iced tea
- Choose your tea. Black, green, white, herbal, or fruit teas all make excellent iced teas. Select your tea based on your preferred flavour profile.
- Measure the tea. Use double the amount of tea leaves or bags compared to what you’d use for hot tea. This ensures the tea remains flavourful after being diluted with ice.
Example: Use 2 tea bags or 2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea per 8 ounces of water.
- Boil water. Bring water to a boil, then let it cool slightly for green or white teas (around 75°C-80°C), or use fully boiling water (about 95°C-100°C) for black and herbal teas.
- Steep the tea. Pour the hot water over the leaves and steep for the recommended time of 5-7 minutes. Avoid over-steeping to prevent bitterness.
- Sweeten (Optional). If you want a sweetened iced tea, add sugar, honey, or your preferred sweetener while the tea is hot so it dissolves easily. You can also use simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, boiled until dissolved) for an even blend.
- Cool the tea. After steeping, remove the tea bags or strain the loose leaves. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature. For a faster cooling process, place the tea in the refrigerator.
-
Serve over ice. Fill a glass with ice cubes, then pour the cooled tea over the ice. If using room-temperature tea, the ice will help chill it quickly without diluting the flavour.
- Garnish (Optional). Enhance your iced tea with fresh lemon slices, mint leaves or fruit like berries or peach slices for added flavour.
- Adjust and enjoy. Taste your iced tea and adjust the sweetness or add extra ice if needed. Serve immediately for a refreshing, flavourful iced tea.
