Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil on medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add Teas and Tisanes

    Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add the Gao Wen Black Tea, Hugo Grey Tea, Long Kou Maofeng Green Tea, Peppermint Tisane, Chamomile Tisane, Lemongrass Tisane, and Currant Rooibos.

  3. 3

    Steep the Mixture

    Cover the pot with a lid and let the mixture steep for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to develop fully.

  4. 4

    Strain the Tea

    After steeping, use a fine mesh strainer or a tea strainer to filter out the tea leaves and tisanes from the liquid.

  5. 5

    Sweeten (Optional)

    If desired, add honey or sugar to taste for sweetness and stir well until dissolved.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Pour the tea into cups and enjoy hot, or let it cool and serve over ice for a refreshing iced tea.
