EQUIPMENT NEEDED

Equipment 1: Large Tea Infuser

A tea infuser allows you to steep loose herbs easily in water. This tool is an essential kitchen item for making various types of tea, including this delightful sun tea blend.

Equipment 2: Cotton Muslin Bag

This bag offers a convenient way to hold your herbs together while allowing water to flow freely through them. It’s reusable and can be a sustainable choice for tea lovers.

Equipment 3: Container for Steeping

You can use any container that can hold 1/2 gallon of water and has a lid. It protects the tea from dust and debris while steeping in the sun.

INGREDIENTS

Ingredient 1: Organic Red or Pink Rose Petals

Rose petals not only add a beautiful color but also provide a sweet, delicate flavor. They are a rich source of antioxidants and can help promote healthy skin.

Ingredient 2: Organic Marshmallow Leaf or Raspberry Leaf

Both of these leaves are known for their soothing properties. Marshmallow leaf helps calm the digestive system, making this tea blend gentle on the stomach.

Ingredient 3: Organic Blackberry Leaf

Blackberry leaves add an earthy taste while also supporting digestive health. They are high in vitamins and minerals, contributing to your overall wellness.

Ingredient 4: Organic Rosehips

Rosehips are packed with vitamin C, making them an excellent addition for boosting the immune system. Their tart flavor complements the sweetness of the other ingredients well.

Ingredient 5: Cool or Room Temperature Water

Using filtered water ensures that your tea is not only flavorful but pure and healthy. Make sure the water is cool or at room temperature for the best steeping results.

HOW TO MAKE Rose and Berry Sun Tea Blend

Step 1: Prepare Your Herbs

Begin by gathering your organic ingredients. Measure out 2 tablespoons each of red or pink rose petals, marshmallow, and blackberry leaves. Add 1 tablespoon of rosehips to the mix. If you are using a cotton muslin bag, fill it with these herbs.

Step 2: Combine in a Tea Infuser or Bag

If using a tea infuser, place all the herbs inside. If you are using a muslin bag, wrap the herbs securely inside and tie it. This helps prevent any herbs from escaping into the tea while it steeps.

Step 3: Steep in Water

Place the prepared herbs in the infuser or bag into a container with 1/2 gallon of cool or room-temperature water. Make sure the container has a lid to keep the tea clean. Cover it well and place it in a sunny spot, such as a windowsill or outdoor table.

Step 4: Let It Brew

Allow the tea to steep in the sun for several hours. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor will be. Aim for at least 3 to 5 hours, depending on your taste preference.

Step 5: Strain and Serve

After steeping, remove the tea infuser or muslin bag from the water. If you used a loose blend, strain the tea to remove any remaining herbs.

Step 6: Refrigerate and Enjoy

Serve your Rose and Berry Sun Tea Blend over ice or chilled. You can add sweeteners, lemon, or your favorite flavors to customize your drink. The unused tea can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days.

TIPS AND TRICKS

  • Health Boost: You can enhance the health benefits by adding a slice of lemon or a splash of unsweetened juice. Lemon adds vitamin C and gives a tart flavor that brightens up the tea.
  • Meal Prep: This sun tea is ideal for meal prep. Make a batch at the beginning of the week for hydration throughout warm days.
  • Storage: Keep any leftover tea in a sealed container in the fridge to maintain freshness. It stays good for two days but is best enjoyed fresh.
  • Variations: Feel free to experiment with other herbs and flowers, like lavender or mint, for a different flavor profile.
