A Taste of the Forest with 'Herbal Tea of The Elves'
Take a journey into a mystical forest glade with our Sylvan Glade Refresher, a magical mocktail brewed with our own enchanting "Herbal Tea of The Elves". Made with a whole garden of fruits, herbs and flowers, this summer delight is all about bright, fruity flavour.
The Mystical Brew: Herbal Tea of The Elves
Our Herbal Tea of The Elves is a loose-leaf blend available exclusively at Holy Tea, and a true symphony of flavours. It combines apple, whole verbena, green rooibos, orange pieces, marigold, raspberry, blackberry leaves, blackcurrant and passionflower herb.
The apples lend a gentle sweetness, while whole verbena adds a fresh, lemony fragrance. Green rooibos, less oxidised than its red counterpart, brings a light, smooth and slightly honeyed base. The orange pieces add a bright citrus punch.
Marigold flowers, also known as calendula, bring a touch of sunshine and colour to the blend. The berries (raspberry, blackberry and blackcurrant) offer a tantalising tang, and passionflower herb rounds everything off with a soft, herbal note. Each ingredient is carefully selected to create a harmonious, naturally caffeine-free blend.
Brewing Magic: Sylvan Glade Refresher
Transforming our Herbal Tea of The Elves into the Sylvan Glade Refresher is as simple as it is rewarding. This delicious tea mocktail brings together the fruity, herbal notes of our blend, the natural sweetness of agave syrup and the tart punch of fresh oranges. And of course, a refreshing touch from frozen raspberries.
How to Brew Your Sylvan Glade Refresher:
- Bring 1 litre of water to a boil. This is the start of our enchanting journey.
- Once the water reaches 100°C, add 15 g of our "Herbal Tea of The Elves" and let it steep for 5 minutes, so the flavours of the herbs and fruits fully infuse the water.
- After steeping, strain the tea into a large jug and let it cool to room temperature. Patience is a virtue, especially when crafting such a magical potion.
- Once cooled, add 2–3 tablespoons of agave syrup, adjusting to your desired sweetness. Agave syrup blends seamlessly with our herbal brew without overpowering its flavours.
- Squeeze the juice of one large orange into the jug and stir well. The orange makes the fruity flavours even brighter.
- Add a handful of frozen raspberries to the jug. They cool down your drink and add an element of surprise to every sip.
- Place the jug in the fridge to chill for 1–2 hours, so all the flavours meld together into a deeply refreshing drink.
- Once chilled, serve over ice cubes, garnished with fresh mint leaves for a beautiful presentation and a refreshing twist.
Experience the magic of the forest in each sip of the Sylvan Glade Refresher.
This magical mocktail is not just a drink; it is a journey, a story of nature and a celebration of the flavours she gives us.
