Sakura Ice Tea and its fruit medley

This warm weather episode we’re going through lately has me wishing for refreshing recipes (I’m also currently experimenting with various taste associations for home-made iceicles, I’ll be sharing soon).

Brita recently offered me their new filtering pitcher “Fill & Serve” (it fits perfectly in my new fridge door (=my precious) with its slim shape), and dared me to invent a recipe with it.

I decided to make some ice tea with my favorite green tea I had already told you about : Sakura by Mariage Frères, with it’s cherry blossom flavoring. It’s delicious whether hot or cold.

As with all such similar posts, I think the drawing pretty much sums up all the steps: I’d just add that for the infusion time, you need to use cold filtered water (hot water will make the tea too bitter) and let the green tea infuse for at least 3h in the fridge (or even all night).

From then on, everything is possible: add agave or sugar, and your favorite fruits in order to have something a bit more yummy than a simple “detox water”.

“Cheers”, or “Bon appétit”, I don’t really know what I should be wishing you! (English translation by Bleu Marine)
