I cold-brewed this overnight last night for iced tea today because I knew it would be very hot today. I’m so glad I did because this is so good iced!
The lemon is bright & refreshing, with an invigorating bite from the ginger & a vibrant kiss of black pepper & cinnamon. The black tea base is smooth & flavorful. The overall cup is not overly spicy/peppery, but there’s enough kick to it that the taste buds are doing the happy dance. I did add some sweetener to it to enhance the overall presence of the spices & I like the way it brings out the flavor of the spices without making it taste too sweet.
This is a blend I had contemplated for a while now, I’m glad I finally decided to just make it!
