Fruit tea is a drink made from a mixture of dried or fresh fruits, berries, herbs and flowers. It can be done on the basis of water, juice or tea. Each of these ways there are nuances in cooking, writes toneto.net.
Fruity tea water brewed from dried fruits and herbs. Tea is usually not added (this drink does not contain caffeine). But if you just pour the dry mix with boiling water, you get a compote.
— The water must boil and cool down to 85–90C°. The teapot must be warmed, and drink a brew for 8-10 minutes.
— Fruit tea juice is made with the addition of tea leaves, and without them. In the first case, the juice must be heated, but do not bring to a boil. In the second case, the juice just dilute the brewed tea. You can drink both hot and chilled.
— If the basis of fruit tea is black, green or white tea, you need to first brew and brew the last, and then add fruit blend to your liking. This drink quenches thirst, relieves fatigue and tones the body.
