Iced Elderflower Pear

teas.co.uk · 10 min + chill · Serves 4

You'll need

• 4 Good Earth Elderflower and Pear White Tea bags
• 500ml water, boiled then cooled to about 80C
• 500ml cold water
• 1 ripe pear, sliced
• Ice, lemon slices and a sprig of mint, to serve
• A little honey, optional

Method

1. Boil fresh water, let it cool to about 80C, then pour over the 4 bags in a covered jug and steep 4 minutes; longer or hotter and the white base will grow bitter once iced.
2. Lift the bags out without squeezing and stir in a little honey while warm only if you want it sweeter.
3. Cool to room temperature then chill gently; do not crash it over ice, which is for tannic black teas.
4. Stir in the 500ml cold water, add the sliced pear, and chill another 30 minutes if you have time so the fresh fruit infuses.
5. Serve over ice with lemon slices and mint. Best within 2 days; white tea fades fast even cold.
