Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful berries: The quality of your berries will greatly impact the taste of your tea. Look for berries that are plump, brightly colored, and have a sweet aroma.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil and mint, can add a refreshing and flavorful touch to your tea. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they will not be as flavorful.
- Don't oversteep your tea: Steeping your tea for too long can make it bitter. For herbal teas, a general rule of thumb is to steep them for 5-7 minutes. For black and green teas, steep them for 3-5 minutes.
- Sweeten your tea to taste: If you like your tea sweet, you can add honey, sugar, or another sweetener to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon or lime for a tart flavor.
- Enjoy your tea hot or cold: Bella Basil Raspberry Tea can be enjoyed hot or cold. If you're enjoying it hot, let it cool for a few minutes before drinking to avoid burning your tongue. If you're enjoying it cold, let it cool completely and then chill it in the refrigerator for a refreshing iced tea.
