Summer is here, and what better way to celebrate than with a refreshing drink that you can easily customize? Introducing the ultimate summer sip: the afternoon tea mocktail. This delightful beverage combines fruit, herbs, tea, and sparkling water to create a drink that's not only delicious but also fun to make. Whether you're lounging by the pool, hosting a BBQ, or simply enjoying a sunny afternoon, a Full Moon Tea mocktail is the perfect companion.
The beauty of this bev lies in its simplicity and versatility. The base recipe consists of just four ingredients: fruit, herbs, tea, and sparkling water. Start with your favorite fruit – think juicy peaches, ripe strawberries, or tangy pineapple. Next, add a handful of fresh herbs like mint, basil, or rosemary. Brew your favorite Full Moon tea, iced. We love Evening Peach Orchard herbal tea or Strawberry Honeysuckle White Tea for this. Finally, top it off with a splash of sparkling water for that extra fizz.
Here's a quick rundown of the base recipe:
1. **Fruit**:
2. **Herbs**:
3. **Tea**:
4. **Sparkling Water**:
What makes a tea mocktail truly special is the endless possibilities for customization. Mix and match your favorite fruits, herbs, and teas to create a drink that perfectly suits your taste. For a tropical twist, try pineapple with mint and green tea. Looking for something more classic? How about strawberries, basil, and black tea? The combinations are endless, so let your creativity flow and experiment with different flavors.
