experiments in tea #22: strawberry and kiwi sorbet (yumchaa)

[scientistsinistral]

This one was a case of fruit tisanes actually having some flavour!

Ingredients: Strawberry pieces, kiwi pieces, apple pieces, hibiscus, rose hip, orange, lemon, flavouring.

Brewing notes
I cold brewed this first, actually, using up most of the pack to get a good flavour. Because of the large pieces, I could just put it in a covered jug with water and then strain out the fruit pieces when it came to drink.

I also hot brewed it at 100 degrees to see if that would be nice as well.

Tasting notes:
Verdict: Either way, it was quite nice - still smelled sweeter than it tasted, so I ended up putting sugar in both tests, which didn't really work with the cold brew since it didn't dissolve and just sat at the bottom of the cup. A subdued but still present fruit flavour, with both the strawberry and kiwi being tastable.

Lessons Learned: Give fruit tisanes a shot both ways?

It was lovely <3. Have too many teas to consider buying another packet, but very enjoyable experience.
