Tea of the Week for August 16, 2021!
This one took a little tweaking, but I’m happy with the result. It starts with a base of organic rooibos & lemon grass. To this combination, I added lots of chopped cherries & some vanilla bean & a touch of essence to create a dessert-y, baked custard-ish treat for your teacup & it’s naturally caffeine-free so you can enjoy this any time of day or night!
Sweet cherry notes meld with smooth vanilla custard notes. So good! It makes the perfect late-night cuppa – or a nice guilt-free dessert! It’s organic, VEGAN, gluten-free, allergen-friendly, caffeine-free & all natural!
organic ingredients: rooibos, lemongrass, cherries, calendula petals, vanilla beans & natural flavors
to brew: shake before you measure to ensure that the ingredients are well-incorporated. use 3 ½ grams of leaf to 12oz of very hot water (195°F) & steep for 10 minutes. strain & allow to cool for at least 5 minutes.
Because this is a dessert-y cuppa – I find that a little bit of sugar enhances the sweeter notes of the custard & vanilla flavors. Sugar is – by no means – necessary to add but it will enhance the dessert-y qualities of the tea.
