somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known

You know what, I'll do as many as I can to catch up whilst I remember. I will spare people the long reading post spam after this one, but check out the experiments in tea tag for all the postings.

This one looks very similar to one I haven't tried yet, called Strawberry Lemonade, so much so that I finished this one and then went back to my stash and went 'wait, didn't I have this one already? Wasn't the Ginger Beer the only one I got a double of?' It was, my brain messed with me.

Ingredients: Apple Pieces, Rosehip, Lemongrass, Orange Peel, Calendula Petals, Natural Flavouring
Do not remember how I brewed this. It was a while ago. I feel like I did it hot several times.

Tasting notes:
Verdict: It sure tastes like lemon sherbet. The lemongrass really came through, and is the defining flavour. I'm not sure I liked it that much, but that's probably a palate difference.
Lessons Learned: Also more general, but... do these posts way earlier because memory is sometimes not great and now I'm sitting here shrugging when asked to remember details.

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?
