Cranberry Apple
The delicious blend of Herb and fruit lea in some circles is considered a new type of tea. We offered this blend to accommodate the tastes of people who wanted to experience a refreshing style drink without caffeine. What we have is a terrific “tea” that is unbelievably delicious and enjoyed hot or cold. This tea has a very exotic flavour profile.
The delicious blend of cranberry, fruit and apple flavours combined with the natural flavours and tartness of the various dried fruits create a summertime cooler or a winter time summer reminder. If you are a skier or enjoy evenings in a rustic cabin around a roaring fireplace, put a pot of this tea on. After it has brewed pour into a 3 quart cooking pot, add a bottle of deep full flavoured red Wine, a couple slices of orange and a stick of cinnamon, about 10 cloves – simmer for 15 minutes – add sugar to taste – now you have the perfect gluhwein – Incredible! For a summer time drink Cranberry Apple iced is hard to beat. It is refreshing and thirst quenching and not overly sweet.
For formal times garnish the glass with a slice of orange and a stick of cinnamon -for non-formal times pour it into your glass and enjoy it gulp after gulp! If you have small children use the Cranberry Apple tea to make popsicles – they taste great and contain very little sugar. By virtue of the fact that these blends do not contain any tea aid are a special blend of fruits and herbs – they are caffeine free! An additional benefit is that these teas’ contain Vitamin C.
Cranberry Apple – What could be better? – a healthy drink that tastes GREAT!
HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 2 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 5-10 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Garnish & sweeten to taste. Ideal Brewing Temperature: 100ºC/212ºF
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 12 slightly heaping teaspoons of herb & fruit blend into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the herb & fruit blend. Steep for 5-10 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher, straining the tea. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced herb & fruit tea is to increase the strength of hot brew since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
(Individual Serving): Place 2 slightly heaping teaspoons of herb & fruit blend into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the herb & fruit blend. Cover and let steep for 5-10 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed herb & fruit tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted.
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
