March Sipdown Prompt – an unflavored green

I made a pitcher of this to go with lunch – cold steeped, sweetened, and poured over ice.

I made it by their cold steep instructions with misgivings. Only two to three minutes in cold water? I left it for a little over three minutes, using four teabags for about a quart of water total once I added the simple syrup to sweeten it.

I really want to make a fresh batch tomorrow because this came out unbelievably light. I want to steep it in hot water and then chill it and see if more green tea flavor appears. How ironic that the prompt was for an unflavored green.

I was so surprised to see you mention teabags for matcha! Awesome that it came out so well — sounds delightful!

This was a gift from a couple who came to visit! It is a mix of matcha and green tea leaves. It came out better today!

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
