Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cherry Ginger Green Tea Infusion.
Step 1
Start by gathering your fresh ingredients. In a glass bowl, combine the pitted cherries and the sliced ginger. Sprinkle the sugar over the mixture, allowing it to enhance the natural sweetness of the cherries. Pour in 2 cups of filtered water, covering the fruit and ginger completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you have the time. This step allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a delightful infusion.
Step 2
When you're ready to brew your tea, bring 2 cups of filtered water to a near boil. Pour this hot water over the green tea bags placed in a pitcher. Let the tea steep for about 90 seconds, then gently squeeze the tea bags to release any remaining flavor before discarding them. This quick steeping ensures a light and refreshing tea base that won't overpower the cherry and ginger infusion.
Step 3
Next, strain the cherry and ginger mixture into the pitcher with the brewed green tea. Make sure to squeeze out any excess liquid from the cherries and ginger to capture all that delicious flavor. Give it a gentle stir to combine everything well.
Step 4
To serve, pour the infused tea into glasses filled with ice, if you prefer it chilled. Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon and a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavors. Enjoy this refreshing drink on a warm day or as a cozy evening treat.
