The 3rd Tea of Christmas 2024!
I’m a little surprised that I haven’t blended this tea since 2021! This is one of my more popular blends, so I figured that it might be something that was blended for the holiday box since then – but no! I’m so happy that I’ve blended it now though, because sipping on this tea is making me happy!
This blend starts with an organic green rooibos base. I love green rooibos – it’s definitely my favorite naturally caffeine-free base to use for my caffeine-free tisanes. I like honeybush & red rooibos alright, but I definitely prefer the green rooibos! It’s crisp & light & very refreshing!
To the green rooibos base, I added a bunch of freeze-dried cranberries & a touch of magical essence to create a light & refreshing “soda” note that evokes thoughts of a light cranberry lemon-lime soda. So tasty!
It’s sweet & tart, it’s flavorful yet fresh, bright & invigorating! I love this tea! It’s also vegan, gluten-free, allergen-friendly & naturally caffeine-free! A perfect refresher to enjoy any time of the day!
organic ingredients: green rooibos, freeze-dried cranberries & natural flavors
to brew: use 3 ½ grams of leaf to 12oz of very hot water (185°F – yeah, I know I usually use 190°F for green rooibos blends, but I decided to lower the temp by 5° to see if it made for a substantial difference in flavor & without trying the two side by side, I think this tastes amazing – so that’s what I’m going to recommend!) steep for 10 minutes, strain & allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Enjoy!
serving suggestion: this tastes good hot, but I highly recommend chilling it (it works amazing as a cold brew!) because it’s a “soda” tea & soda tastes better cold, right? But it’s still an amazing hot drink as well. I generally add just a teensy bit of sugar (less than ½ a teaspoon to a 12oz serving) because again – it’s a “soda” & soda is meant to be a little bit sweet. It tastes good without sweetener, too, but that teensy bit of sugar really elevates this into a “soda” experience!
