Elegant, subtle, timeless... Earl Grey is a classic that reinvents itself perfectly as an iced version. At Chill Tea Atelier, we love it with an unexpected aromatic touch: fresh rosemary. A surprising combination that evokes summer, garden herbs, and a certain idea of simple luxury. And yes, at Chill Tea Atelier, we like to surprise.
Ingredients (for 1L of iced tea)
-
1 Liter of cold water
-
2 tablespoons of Chill Tea Atelier organic Earl Grey
-
1 sprig of fresh rosemary
-
2 thin slices of organic lemon
-
A few ice cubes
-
(Optional) A spoon of maple syrup or honey
Preparation
-
Cold brew
Pour cold water into a large carafe and add the loose tea (in a tea ball or loose, to be strained afterwards). Let it steep for 6 to 8 hours in the refrigerator. This gentle method reveals delicate aromas without bitterness.
-
Add the aromas
Slip a sprig of rosemary and the lemon slices into the carafe. Let it infuse for another 1 hour.
-
Strain and serve
Strain the tea if necessary. Serve very cold with ice cubes in a tall glass. A touch of maple syrup softens the natural bitterness of black tea and pairs perfectly with bergamot.
Creative variations
-
Replace the lemon with blood orange for a softer and more colorful touch.
-
Add a few fresh red berries for a surprising visual and taste effect.
