Hot or cold?

Enhance your tea experience with a blend of tea leaves and Activated Phenolics Powder. This combination not only offers a delightful flavour but also boosts the health benefits of your tea, thanks to the potent antioxidants found in the Activated Phenolics Powder.

Here’s a simple yet invigorating recipe for creating your own tea leaves mix with this beneficial powder, along with tips for cold infusion.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons high-quality loose leaf tea (such as green tea, black tea, or white tea)

• 1 tablespoon dried herbs or flowers (such as chamomile, hibiscus, or peppermint), optional for added flavour

• 1 teaspoon Activated Phenolics Powder

• 1 teaspoon dried fruit pieces (such as apple or berry), optional for a touch of sweetness

• 1/2 teaspoon dried citrus peel (such as lemon or orange), optional for a zesty note

Instructions

1. Prepare the Tea Blend:

   • In a small mixing bowl, combine the loose leaf tea with the dried herbs or flowers (if using). Stir to mix evenly.

2. Add Activated Phenolics Powder:

   • Add the Activated Phenolics Powder to the tea mixture. Use a whisk or a spoon to thoroughly blend the powder with the tea leaves, ensuring an even distribution.

3. Incorporate Optional Ingredients:

   • If desired, mix in the dried fruit pieces and dried citrus peel. These additions can enhance the flavour and aroma of your tea blend.

4. Store the Tea Blend:

   • Transfer the tea leaves mix into an airtight container, such as a glass jar or a sealed pouch. Store in a cool, dark place to preserve freshness and potency.

5. Brew and Enjoy:

   • To brew a cup of tea, use approximately 1-2 teaspoons of the tea leaves mix per cup of hot water. Steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your taste preference and the type of tea used.

   • Strain the tea leaves before drinking, or use a tea infuser for convenience.

Tips for Cold Infusion

Cold infusion is a great way to make refreshing, flavourful tea without the need for hot water. Here’s how to do it:

1. Use a Larger Quantity:

   • For cold infusion, use about 1-2 tablespoons of the tea leaves mix per 500 ml (17 oz) of cold water. The longer infusion time compensates for the lower temperature.

2. Infuse for Longer:

   • Place the tea leaves mix in a pitcher or a large jar filled with cold water. Let it steep in the refrigerator for 6-12 hours, or overnight for the best flavour.

3. Adjust for Strength:

   • Taste the tea periodically. If it’s too strong, you can dilute it with more cold water. If it’s too weak, let it infuse for a little longer.

4. Add Flavour Enhancers:

   • For extra flavour, add slices of fresh fruit (like lemon, lime, or berries), fresh herbs (such as mint or basil), or a splash of fruit juice to the cold infusion.

5. Serve with Ice:

   • Serve your cold-infused tea over ice for a refreshing drink. Garnish with additional fruit slices or herbs if desired.

6. Strain Before Serving:

   • If using loose tea leaves, strain the tea before serving to remove any residual leaves. You can use a fine mesh strainer or a specially designed cold brew tea infuser.
