Iced Pure Camomile with Fresh Peach and Tarragon
teas.co.uk · 5 min + 6 hr cold brew · Serves 1 (or 2 from a 250ml batch)
You'll need
- 1 Loyd Pure Camomile pyramid tea bag
- 250ml cold filtered water
- 1 thin slice of fresh ripe white peach (3mm thick wedge cut from a halved stoned peach)
- 1 small fresh tarragon sprig (4 leaves on a stem; estragon)
- 1 sealed glass bottle, 300ml capacity, for the cold brew
- 250g cubed ice
- Glassware: 350ml stemmed wine glass, pre chilled in the freezer for ten minutes
Method
- Pour 250ml of cold filtered water into a clean bottle or jar, drop in the Loyd Pure Camomile bag, seal it and refrigerate for six to eight hours. It brews to a clear, pale gold.
- Lift out and discard the bag. Sealed in the fridge, the brew keeps for up to a day, so you can make it ahead if you like.
- Chill your serving glass in the freezer for a few minutes. A stemmed wine glass suits it nicely.
- Cut a thin slice from a ripe white peach and tuck it down the inside of the cold glass.
- Fill three quarters with ice, slip a small sprig of tarragon in among the cubes, then pour the cold brew straight over.
- Drink within ten minutes or so, while the tarragon is still scenting the glass and the peach is slowly releasing its juice.
- Tarragon is potent, so four or five leaves is plenty; if you want it sweeter, add a little more peach rather than sugar.
