A couple of times I have made this tea forgetting that there is green tea mixed in with the black. I treated it like a black tea and it became astringent. My fault, not the tea’s fault. Since I have messed it up several times, I decided I would give it a chance as a cold steep. It stayed in the fridge for one whole day! The color is so light, clear, and pure. The flavor is light and good, too. A tiny bit fruity, a tiny bit floral.
I add simple syrup and pour it into my Zoku Slushy and Shake Maker and VOILA! I have a beautiful tea dessert! YUMS! I can’t wait to try lots more tea like this. Tea slushy on a sticky summer day? Yes, please!
I am loving my Zoku stuff. It is so hot and humid where I live that you have to do something to cool off!
Ooh. I wonder if it would work in the popsicle maker. I know a certain amount of sugar is needed for it to release…
It does! I made tea pops last year, but I did use sweetened ice tea.
