This is another result of my tea experimentation's. With this one I really think that less is more and stopping while I was ahead. It's very light tasting with a bit of flower and an essence of cinnamon. If you have not used rose water before start with a 1/2 teaspoon and add more if you like. Ingredients:
5 cups water, filtered |
4 green jasmine tea bags |
2 (3 inch) cinnamon sticks (use 1 if you like a light touch of cinnamon) |
1 teaspoon rose water |
sugar (or honey or splenda) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Heat pure filtered water (for clear tea) with the tea bags and cinnamon just to boiling.
2. Put a lid on the pan and remove from the heat and allow to steep for 20 minutes.
3. Discard the tea bags.
4. You may leave the cinnamon in the tea if you like, it will add more flavor if it remains in the tea.
5. Add the Rose Water and stir.
6. Cool to room temp or chill.
7. Sweeten to your taste.
8. Serve over ice (you can certainly drink it hot if you wish).
