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
- Rinse the mint and basil leaves under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Slice the Jaffa Seedless Lemon into thin slices.
- In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Once the water reaches a boil, remove from heat.
- 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.
- Cover and let the mixture steep for about 10-15 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavour will be.
- After steeping, add the berries to the tea, and allow to infuse for another 5 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- Enjoy!
