We're all familiar with tea bags that we simply buy in stores. Now, teas are getting a makeover: we can also buy them in jars, with tea bags on the side, and in our own little teapots or travel mugs. Yes, it's useful for speeding up the morning (or for taking your time with a small tea set), BUT it's also very useful for adding various other ingredients and inventing new teas!
Let's take a look at some specialty teas. It's worth noting that many teas are very classic (green tea, chai tea, etc.), but there are some that are more fun, more original.
First of all, we can't deny that tea pairs wonderfully with chocolate (sorry again, ladies, yet another thing that goes well with chocolate…!). So you'll find it in many other flavors (or just chocolate) like mint, orange, coconut, etc. It could be rooibos tea, black tea, green tea, and many other varieties. Just find what appeals to you most, taste, and experiment. Chocolate teas are also quite simple to make: you'll need tea (you probably guessed that), sugar, water, and dark chocolate (dark, not milk chocolate, don't forget).
Next, for those who aren't die-hard chocolate lovers, there are other ways to enjoy a good, less sweet tea: fruit teas. Tea is often associated with citrus fruits (lemon, lime, and others), but you can also find teas made with wild berries (or simply fruit). So, as you might have guessed, you can create a multitude of different drinks without fear of making a mistake. I think you can let your imagination run wild and add whatever you like best. Whether your fruit is pureed, whole, or chopped, add it to your tea!
Slice of life: I imagine you've noticed that many people have started drinking water and adding fruit to it so that the flavors spread.
Let me tell you a little secret: they simply forgot to add tea to enhance the flavors and make it taste better. Few people know this, but adding tea to this water is a perfect way to make it a truly amazing drink!
So, you'll have a strawberry tea, a blueberry tea, or a raspberry tea that's uniquely yours. Want to add berries however you like? Go ahead! You can invent your own brew. Don't hesitate to experiment, make mistakes, and even create masterpieces. Don't be afraid to unleash your inner chef; add the herbs that might make your tea truly exceptional!
Do as you wish, listen to your heart and your tea will be perfect.
