Fruity Apricot Green

$7.00

GREEN TEA | LOW CAFFEINE | APRICOT & APPLE

Apricot is an easy fruit to overdo and a hard one to get right. Here it's balanced with green tea and kept light enough to complement the fruit rather than fight it. Hot, it is a gentle cup. Cold, it is a different tea entirely, and that is the one people come back for.

Sold in 1 oz quantities. Makes 6-10 cups of tea.

Ingredients

green tea, apple pieces, apricots, marigold petals, all natural apricot flavor

From Our Laguna Beach Tea Shop

This one is on our shelf because of Laguna Beach summers. When the weather turns, we start a cold infusion before bed and let it sit in the fridge overnight, and by morning it is the first thing we pour. Skip the kettle, fill a pitcher, let time do the work. Once people find out how easy that is, Peachy Keen Oolong is usually the next one we show them. And if you want that same apricot note as a proper hot cup or a stronger iced tea, Apricots and Peaches Organic Black Tea is the one to try next.

  • How to brew it hot

    Use 1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea per 8 ounces of water at 175 to 180 degrees. Steep 2 to 3 minutes. Lower water temperature keeps green tea from turning bitter.

  • How to make iced tea

    Use 2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea per 8 ounces of water at 175 to 180 degrees. Steep 2 to 3 minutes and pour over a full glass of ice. The extra leaf covers what the ice waters down.

  • How to cold brew

    Use 1.5 teaspoons of loose leaf tea per 8 ounces of filtered water.
    Steep in your fridge for 3 to 6 hours.
    Strain out the leaves and enjoy!

Beyond the Cup: Make Something Tasty with This Apricot Green Tea

Boozy Garden Party Punch

Makes 7-8 cups

Muddled mint and bourbon meet brewed Fruity Apricot Green Tea, peaches, and strawberries in a summery, boozy punch.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1-2 tablespoons cane sugar or honey
  • 3 teaspoons Fruity Apricot Green Tea (brewed 2 cups according to package directions)
  • 1.5 cups bourbon
  • 1 cup peach juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 fresh peaches, sliced
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • Crushed ice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine the mint and sugar or honey in a large pitcher, then mash with a muddler until the leaves are bruised. Bruising the mint releases its oils, which is what carries its flavor through the whole punch instead of sitting on top.
  2. Stir in the green tea, bourbon, peach juice, lemon juice, sliced peaches, and strawberries. Chill until ready to serve. Chilling gives the fruit time to steep into the punch, deepening the flavor before serving.
  3. Pour over crushed ice and garnish with fresh mint. Crushed ice chills the punch fast without watering it down as quickly as ice cubes would.
