Jasmine Blossom Cocktail

by Anna Mariani Leave a Comment

Blossoming Jasmine Green Tea meets lychee in this fragrant tea-infused cocktail.

Layering jasmine flowers on top of green tea leaves is one of the most traditional and natural ways of flavoring tea, because the tea leaves pick up the scent of the blossoms.

Enjoy their fragrant scent in this exotic cocktail! It’s perfect for entertaining. Dazzle your guests or enjoy with your better half for a romantic night in or weekend brunch.

Added bonus: the boozy fruit at the bottom of the glass!

🌱 Why do grades of tea matter? The larger the leaf, the greater its surface area for steeping and the more complex the infusion. Numi uses only hand-plucked, fuller leaf quality tea for a pure taste that balances depth and nuance. Many bagged teas are machine-picked and use low-quality fannings and dust. Smaller grades release tannins more quickly, leading to a dark, bitter-tasting cup. Wake up with fuller leaf teas that steep slowly and evenly, delivering a smooth, rich flavor. When you drink our tea, you’ll immediately taste the difference. ☕️ Find our Breakfast Blend and over 40 delicious organic blends on our Amazon store. Link in bio.
