Flavouring Tea Leaves: A Step-by-Step Guide
Here's how to flavour tea leaves, incorporating information from the provided reference:
-
Start with Dried Tea Leaves: Black or green tea leaves are most commonly used for blending. These form the base for your flavoured tea.
-
Choose Your Flavours: Select your desired flavours. These can include:
- Dried flowers (e.g., rose petals, lavender)
- Dried fruits (e.g., orange peel, berries)
- Herbs (e.g., mint, chamomile)
- Spices (e.g., cinnamon, cardamom)
- Candy pieces (e.g., small pieces of chocolate or caramel). Note: Use candy sparingly to avoid overpowering the tea.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a sealed container, combine the dried tea leaves with your chosen flavourings.
-
Let the Flavours Blend: Seal the container and let it sit until the flavours have blended to your liking. The duration can vary based on the intensity of flavour you desire. Start with a few days and taste test periodically.
By following these steps, you can easily create custom flavoured teas at home.
