Sipdown & Backlog April 20, 2024
We brewed this iced after spending the time gathering loose sticks from the yard after a windy storm. I added a touch (tsp) of honey to the brew and threw it over ice, which is the best way to elevate this blend. Gnat and Bee use homegrown ingredients for their blends, so I’ve learned that the best way to enjoy them thoroughly is by drinking without sweetener or with little honey. The lady love tried to make this as a “southern sweet” tea, but the notes were muted by too much sugar. The honey really allows the dried raspberries to pop and reduce the sourness of the hibiscus (which without sweetener carries the blend nicely).
