“Apricot” Fruit Tea

Apricots & peaches make a delicious ice tea combo for the summer, with tantalizing flavors and colors that excite the taste buds.

Ingredients
Apple, Hibiscus, Apricot, Orange Peel, Rosehip, Peach, Sunflowers, Osmanthus Blossoms, Natural Flavor

Notes
◉ If the fruit infusion is free of Green, Black, White, Oolong, or Mate tea, then it is caffeine-free as well.
◉ Should be stored in airtight glass containers -in a cool, dark, and dry place- to preserve the flavor, texture, and properties.
◉ Since there is so much flavor in this mixture, it could be reinfused once or twice more. ◉ Refrigerate leftover tea in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Fruit Tea Brewing Instructions

• Hot Brew

1. Heat the water to just the point when it starts to boil.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of loose tea to a tea infuser or tea bag, for every 180ml – 240ml of water. If you prefer a stronger cup, include more tea instead of a longer steep time to prevent the likelihood of a more bitter flavor.
3. Pour the heated water (right off the boil) over the tea, cover your cup, and steep for 5-7 minutes or longer.
4. Add honey or stevia for sweetness, if desired.

• Cold Brew

A cold infusion delivers flavors that are sweeter, smoother, more complex, and can be made in a number of different ways.

1. The Fast Way
   Follow the steps as shown in the “Hot Brew“, but use less water, and perhaps even more tea, in order to produce tea concentrate.
   Strain and pour over ice or cold water.
2. 20′ to 60′ Ready
   Add 1-2 teaspoons of loose tea to a tea infuser or tea bag, for every 200ml – 250ml of water. Pour ice-cold water over the tea, stir, cover, and steep for 20 minutes at least. Serve over ice and enjoy.
3. Overnight Ice Tea
   Add 1-2 teaspoons of loose tea to a tea infuser or tea bag, for every 200ml – 250ml of water. Pour room-temperature water over the tea, stir, cover, and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours.
