Serving suggestions for iced teas - Australian Fruit Teas
Combine herbs for interesting combinations with your Australian Fruit Tea. Good - - options include: chamomile or alfalfa and mint; lemon herbs (like lemon verbena, lemongrass, lemon balm) and mints; sage and lemon herbs; peppermint and elder flowers; hibiscus and lemon verbena (one of my favourites with Australian Fruit Tea Blackberry & Orange) or rosehips; alfalfa and mint; clover and spearmint; licorice root or spearmint and rosemary.
Other good combos include any Australian Fruit Tea and your favourite fruit juice ie apple juice; - raspberry tea and orange juice; and lStrawberry tea with avender and mint and grape juice.
Use iced teas to boost your immunity or address health - issues. Sipping iced teas throughout the day is a great way to reap the most health benefits from the herbs.
Include spices in your teas for added depth. Cinnamon, - cloves, cardamom, allspice, and ginger are good bets.
Citrus enlivens almost any iced tea. Use fresh lemon or - lime juice, slices, or peels, and/or granulated lemon.
Chill your serving glasses ahead of time, and prop a piece of - fruit (a strawberry, lime, orange, or lemon slice) on the edge.
Add frozen fruit to your drink. Whole strawberries, - raspberries, or blueberries are fun.
Add edible flowers (organic violets, nasturtiums, rose petals, - and scented geraniums, for example) to your ice cubes.
Of course, all teas are delicious iced! (You may want to pour any leftover warm tea into a pitcher in the refrigerator
to serve iced another time.)
To dissolve your sweetener, you can make a syrup by - cooking the honey (please - not sugar) in a bit of water (or juice) and stirring for a minute or two. Then add the syrup directly to the batch of summer tea, once brewed.
Serve herbal iced teas with complimentary treats,
- like lavender cakes or cardamom scones, anise cookies
or gingersnaps.
Have lots of fun this summer and keep safe and make lots of time to love your family and friends over a cup of Australian Fruit Tea.
