To fulfill May prompt number six! A tea soda….
I had about three teaspoons of this left. How is there no tasting note from me already?
I steeped it three times as Cuppageek recommended for most of their blends using only about a cup of water per three teaspoons, so nice and strong. I poured it into a carafe with a healthy shot of sugar. Chilled in freezer while Ashman worked hard outside.
To make it a soda we simply combined the syrup I just chilled with cold Perrier over ice. And it was delish! This came out just like a ginger ale with a lemon twist. It was really nice to have a bubbly, caffeine free treat tonight. And Ashman, who doesn’t care much for lemongrass, thought it tasted more like lemon and liked it so much he had a second big glass and finished it off, so this is also a sipdown.

I have one of those C02 infusing machines that I use with coldbrew. Vanilla Black tea and Lupicia grape teas are favs, but I can’t believe I never thought to try a lemon ginger tea! I’ll have to rectify that…

Those both sound great! Stash Holiday Chai ends up tasting like a cross between root beer and cream soda. It makes a really great tea soda and we even made floats with it last year.
