Tea Cocktail: Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day everyone!
What better way to celebrate the holiday and warmer days than with a refreshing drink?
This is a tea twist to bellinis and super simple to make.
The tea I used was Emperor’s 7 Treasures; a green and black blend flavored with jasmine and peach. It’s a fantastic and fruity blend created by one of my favorite tea companies; Dethlefsen and Balk.
I brewed it in a Takeya pitcher and sweetened it with simple syrup.
The Prosseco I used is the Spago Nero by Riondo. It has a light fruity taste with a very clean and crisp finish. The aroma is a mix of apple and pear with a floral sweetness.
Recipe
40 grams of tea
Sweetener
Riondo Prosseco Spago Nero
- Brew the tea with boiling water in the Takeya pitcher for 4 minutes and remove tea.
- Add sweetener to taste
- Chill in the fridge overnight.
- Fill glass with 1/2 tea and 1/2 Prosseco.
For a non-alcoholic version, use club soda instead of Prosseco. Brew the tea the same way as above but use 3/4 tea in a glass and 1/4 club soda so it doesn’t water down the tea too much.
Enjoy!
