Jaffa Lemon Fruit Tea

Created for Jaffa by Samantha Hadadi

  • 1 x Jaffa Seedless Lemon, thinly sliced
  • 450ml of Water
  • 50g Fresh or frozen berries
  • 10g Fresh Mint Leaves
  • 10g Fresh Basil Leaves
  • Honey, to taste
  1. Rinse the mint and basil leaves under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. Slice the Jaffa Seedless Lemon into thin slices.
  3. In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Once the water reaches a boil, remove from heat.
  4. Immediately add the mint leaves, basil leaves, and lemon slices to the hot water. Stir gently to combine. You can also do this in a large teapot with a strainer.
  5. Cover and let the mixture steep for about 10-15 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavour will be.
  6. After steeping, add the berries to the tea, and allow to infuse for another 5 minutes.
  7. Taste the tea and add honey if a sweeter drink is preferred. Stir well – the colour will change to red or orange as you stir.
  8. Strain the tea into a pitcher or directly into glasses. You can serve it warm or let it cool down at room temperature and then refrigerate to serve chilled.
  9. Enjoy!
