  3. Gently simmer for 6–10 minutes, until the tea develops a rich, deep red colour.

  4. Turn off the stove, remove the saucepan from the hot burner, and allow the tea to stand. Remove the teabag and sweeten with honey to taste.

  5. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.

  6. Serve in a glass, with or without ice, and enjoy.

Boutique Eatery Brewing Tip For Cold Brews

We recommend brewing them as a hot herbal infusion first before chilling them.

This gentle simmering process allows the whole fruits, edible flowers, herbs, and botanicals to fully release their natural flavours, aromas, colours, and beneficial plant compounds. Chilling the tea afterward creates a beautifully smooth, vibrant, and refreshing cold brew with exceptional depth of flavour.

Whether enjoyed ice cold on a warm summer day, served alongside an evening meal, or savoured steaming hot in a teacup, every blend is thoughtfully crafted to celebrate the beauty, goodness, and nourishment found in nature.

“Every cup is a celebration of nature’s abundance.
Inspired by Genesis 1:11–12
