Each bag is designed to deliver a consistent flavor experience when steeped in hot water. The packaging ensures freshness and makes them convenient for single servings.
How people cook with it
This flavored tea is perfect for a refreshing hot beverage or as a base for iced tea. It can also be incorporated into various culinary creations.
- Brewed hot tea
- Iced tea base
- Flavoring baked goods
- Cocktail ingredient
To prepare a hot cup, place one tea bag in a mug and pour boiling water over it. Let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, or to your preferred strength. For iced tea, brew a stronger concentrate by using two tea bags per cup of hot water, then chill and serve over ice. You can also experiment with adding sweeteners like honey or sugar, or a splash of milk. The citrus notes make it a versatile addition to desserts and beverages.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular orange-flavored teas, blood oranges have a deeper, more complex flavor profile with hints of berry and a less sharp acidity. This provides a more nuanced and sophisticated citrus taste compared to the brighter, more common navel orange flavor.
Who it is for
This tea is for anyone who enjoys flavored black teas and seeks a unique citrus twist.
How to keep the rest
Store the unused tea bags in their original box or an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. This will help maintain their freshness and flavor until you are ready to use them.
