R is for…Root Beer Float
I decided to ice this one. I also set it up to cold brew, which I will have later.
I made this in my iced tea press and for some reason when I use the press for rooibos and honeybush blends, as opposed to fruit tisanes, the liquid comes up the sides of the press. Not sure why that is specifically with rooibos and honeybush, just a curious thing. Also, because of it, I am now wearing some of this iced tea since the liquid from the sides likes to spill out while I attempt to get the iced tea from the center.
I have been making this as a latte in the past and honestly this iced cup is the first time its really screamed root beer for me. It’s got a lot of those classic root beer sasparilla notes. Following that, I am getting a touch of pepper from the honeybush base tea. I could do without that but thankfully it is not the strongest note present. On the other hand, I wish there was more to the “float” element, since I am not getting much here.
