Summer tea mocktails are best when they are personalized. Glean ideas from these three recipes, add a unique twist and make them your own.
Jasmine Mojito Mocktail
Here is a revitalizing tea cocktail to enjoy. The perfect combination of mint and citrus come together with floral jasmine.
Organic Jasmine with Flowers Green Tea is a lush green tea, scented with exotic night-blooming jasmine blossoms. This jasmine green tea is filled with floral, fruity notes.
- 6 teaspoons Organic Jasmine with Flowers Green Tea
- 3 cups water
- 3 cups club soda or sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons sugar or honey
- 8 mint leaves
- 2 limes
- Ice
Brew 6 teaspoons Organic Jasmine with Flowers Green Tea in 3 cups under boiling water. Steep for 3 minutes and strain leaves. Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature. Juice the two limes. Add ice, lime juice, and sugar or honey to the pitcher. Add mint leaves, tea and club soda to the pitcher. Stir completely.
August Tea Spritzer
The August Tea Spritzer is very refreshing and uses two different types of tea that complement each other’s tastes very well.
- 6 teaspoons Organic Mao Feng Green Tea
- 6 teaspoons Raspberry Champagne White Tea
- 2 tablespoons sugar or honey
- ¼ cup of fresh raspberries
- ¼ cup of fresh blackberries
- ½ cup of club soda or sparkling water
- ½ lime, freshly squeezed
The teas should ideally be brewed separately, with 3 cups water each, the day before you want to create the mocktail. Steep your teas at the appropriate temperature for each so their individual flavors will shine through. Add sugar or honey while tea is still warm and stir. Let the tea cool overnight.
Pour teas together then add the raspberries and blackberries. Let the berries meld together with the teas for a few minutes. Then add sparkling water and lime. Pour over ice.
Tropical Pina Colada
This sweet and simple caffeine and alcohol-free beverage is a delightful and creamy summer sip!
- 4 cups water
- 6 teaspoons Pina Colada Hibiscus Fruit Tisane
- 1 cup sparkling water
- Ice
- 1 Tablespoon coconut or almond milk (optional)
Bring 4 cups of water to boil. Steep Pina Colada Hibiscus Fruit Tisane for 8 minutes. Cool overnight. Fill two glasses with ice and pour in tea and top with sparkling water. If you are looking for the creaminess of a classic pina colada add ½ tablespoon of coconut milk.
Cheers!
