How to Brew Soursop Tea

A naturally sweet, caffeine free cup of soursop tea, brewed hot for a few minutes to draw out its tropical fruit character.

How To Brew Soursop Tea

Soursop makes a gentle, fruity cup that tastes a little like a cross between pineapple and pear, with a soft earthy note from the leaf behind it. Because it is a herbal infusion rather than a Green Tea, you can brew it properly hot and give it a few minutes to bring the fruit out.

Method

  1. Give the mug a quick warm with hot water, then empty it.
  2. Pour 200ml of just boiled water, at around 95C, straight over the tea bag.
  3. Cover with a saucer and let it steep for four minutes so the fruit flavour has time to develop.
  4. Press the bag gently against the mug as you lift it out; this herbal blend has no harsh tannins, so it will not turn bitter.
  5. Soursop is sweet on its own and caffeine free, so skip the milk and sugar; it makes a good evening cup.
What you'll end up with: A clear, golden cup with a soft tropical sweetness, a little tang and a mild earthy finish. Light, fragrant and naturally caffeine free.
