What you will need: 


What to do: 

1. Start off by brewing your Blue Raspberry tea in 150ml of 100° water for 4 minutes.

3. Pour your tea into your cocktail shaker and add a cup of ice. Add a few drops of vanilla essence, & a tea spoon of honey then shake! If you don't have a shaker, don't worry you can simply add the tea to a glass of ice and jump to step

4. Pour into your glass, top up with sparkling water and give it a good stir!

5. Squeeze a couple of wedges of fresh lemon into your drink and watch the tea colour magically change!

6. Enjoy!

Alternative recipes: 

Cold brew: You could also cold brew this tea overnight if you wanted to avoid the cooling period. Simply add 4 - 6 spoons of tea to your cold brew bottle and top with cold water and steep overnight. This would make you approximately 4 servings. We don't recommend leaving your leaves in the cold brew bottle for much longer than overnight as the tea could go bitter over time. 

Wobbly Unicorn Tea Cocktail: To make our famous Wobbly Unicorn cocktail all you need to do is to add 25 or 50ml of your favourite spirit of choice to the cocktail shaker along with the tea. We recommend vodka or gin. 

Trouble Shooting Tips:

If your tea isn't brewing blue; you may not have enough of the blue flower in your infuser - try a heaped, even spoonful whilst being mindful that the flowers might have settled lower down your pouch/tin.

If your tea isn't changing colour to pink; the acidity isn't strong enough - Try the juice of a whole lemon or lemon syrup (like the stuff you put on pancakes!).
