iced jasmine & elderflower tea

 

This has got to be one of the most refreshing drinks I've tasted in a long time, well in the non alcoholic department at least.  It would be hard to compete with my white peach sangria which I have been meaning to blog about for ages and will get round to it someday I promise.

 

Here, the dash of elderflower cordial adds that little kick of deliciousness to the already very aromatic jasmine tea.  These two flavours are made for each other and I would encourage you make a batch and keep it in the fridge, serve it with lunch or even an afternoon snack in the garden.

 

I used flowering jasmine pearls, but you could use any jasmine flavour tea be it a bag or leaves.



 



 



You will need:

• 1 flowering jasmine tea pearl (or 1 jasmine flavoured tea bag)
• a dash of elderflower cordial
• a few blocks of ice



 

Method:

 

1) Make the tea as you would normally, allow to cool slightly.  Pour a dash of elderflower cordial in each glass or in the tea pot (to taste) depends how sweet you like it.  Pour the tea over ice into the individual glasses.
