Enjoy this tea hot as a comforting beverage or chilled for a refreshing drink.
- Morning refreshment
- Afternoon pick-me-up
- Evening relaxation
- Iced tea base
To prepare, place one tea bag or one teaspoon of loose leaf tea into a mug. Pour hot water, just off the boil, over the tea. Allow it to steep for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. Remove the tea bag or strain the leaves. You can enjoy it plain, or add a touch of honey or a slice of lemon for extra flavor. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch, let it cool, and serve over ice with your favorite additions.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain green tea, this jasmine variety has a distinct floral perfume from the jasmine flowers. This infusion adds a layer of sweetness and fragrance that is not present in unflavored green teas. The base green tea itself provides a subtle grassy note that complements the floral aroma.
