## Summary

A Caribbean-leaning Hyson Pineapple Ceylon cup with a torn lime leaf in the steep and a little soft brown sugar stirred in at the end.

## Description

Hyson Pineapple Infused Black Tea takes a Caribbean turn with a torn lime leaf in the steep and a quarter-teaspoon of soft light brown sugar stirred in at the end. That pairing, pineapple with lime leaf and a little molasses sugar, is the backbone of pineapple upside-down cake and most rum-spiked island puddings; on a Ceylon-pineapple base it pushes the cup towards real tropical fruit instead of a plain pineapple-flavoured tea.

Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/recipes/fruit-tea/standard-pineapple-ceylon-cup-lime-leaf-and-brown-sugar/Brew it at a full rolling boil, since the black-tea side of the bag is doing the work. Three minutes is right: the lime leaf gives its best in that window and turns dominant past four. Tear the leaf along its spine before it goes in, because an intact leaf releases almost nothing. Add the brown sugar only at the end so the molasses note survives; sugar steeped through the brew tastes flat. Drink it black to taste the pineapple properly.
