Ingredients: Black tea (orange pekoe grade) from the Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula, and Uva regions in Sri Lanka, cornflower petals, blackberry leaves, natural flavors.
Preparation:
Hot tea: Use boiling water. If you want to gauge the temperature it should be about 100ºC/212ºF. Use approximately 1 teaspoon per 6-8 ounces. Let the tea steep for 3-5 minutes. Great plain, with sweetener, or milk/cream and sweetener.
Iced tea: Use boiling water (100ºC/212ºF). Use 1 slightly rounded teaspoon per 6-8 ounces. Pour 3-4 ounces of boiling water over the tea and let steep 3-5 minutes. Then pour into an acrylic glass filled with ice. If desired, add sweetener (tip: it is hard to dissolve sweetener in cold water so either add the sweetener to the water just after steeping or try a simple syrup).
