Little Litchi Raspberry
September 18, 2011 | Author UTOPIATEA
Description
Sweet, grape-like litchi berries combined with red raspberries, and fruity Keemun (“Chinese famous black tea”) produce a brisk and sweet cup that is thoroughly satisfying. Black tea contains a large amount of antioxidant compounds called polyphenols that aid in fighting harmful diseases while protecting the body. Black tea is also known to strengthen the immune system, lower cholesterol, and protect teeth and bones. Small amounts of calcium, manganese, and potassium have also been found in black tea. This is one to enjoy hot or over ice!

Brewing Instructions
Iced Tea Instructions
Single Serving
Large Serving
Bring one quart of water to a rolling boil. Remove the water from the heat and add 8-10 teaspoons of loose tea per quart (using a tea pot w/filter or tea bags will work just the same). Let this steep for 4-5 minutes or to your desired strength, then remove loose tea. If you would prefer your iced tea to be sweetened, add rock sugar (for best results) while the tea is steeping, opposed to adding it at the end. This will enhance the taste of the iced tea and the sugar will easily dissolve in the hot water. If you would like to serve immediately, pour over a glass or cup filled completely with ice. The instant cooling will keep the scent and flavor of the tea intact. If not, add an additional quart of cold water and let chill in the refrigerator (minimum 2 hrs). Add cinnamon sticks as desired.
