Who can resist a fun color-changing mocktail or cocktail featuring a refreshing cold-brewed Mariage Frères tea? Definitely not us! This green tea has a not-so-secret ingredient, butterfly pea flower, that gives it its distinctive hue.
This citrusy tart drink is great in its blue form, but gets even more delicious when you add a twist of lemon juice (and maybe some sparkling or gin) and watch it change to purple! A delight for the tastebuds and eyes!
Ingredients:
- Cold-Brewed Fantôme de L'Opéra*
- 2-3 blackberries
- 1 tsp sugar
- ice
- lemon
- sparkling water (optional)
- gin (optional)
Directions:
- Muddle the blackberries and sugar together at the bottom of a short glass.
- Fill glass with ice.
- Pour about 2/3 up with cold-brewed tea.
- Garnish with a lemon wedge.
- Optional- add a squeeze of lemon and gin ,if desired, and stir and watch the color change!
- Optional- top with sparkling water.
*Note- How we cold-brewed the tea:
In a quart size bottle, add half an ounce of loose tea leaves. Add room temperature filtered water. Place in the fridge for 6-8 hours or overnight.
You may also hot brew tea double strength and let cool.
