How to Brew Vanilla Black Tea
Tea amount: Use approximately 3 grams or 1 teaspoon for every 250 millilitres of water.
Water temperature: Use freshly boiled water cooled slightly to 90°C to 95°C or 194°F to 203°F.
Steeping time: Steep for 3 to 4 minutes, then strain completely.
Adjust to taste: Begin at 3 minutes. Use more tea rather than a very long steep for a stronger cup.
Brewing tip: Very long steeping can make black tea more astringent and cover the vanilla aroma.
How to Make Iced Vanilla Black Tea
Make a concentrated infusion: Use approximately 6 grams for every 250 millilitres of water.
Brew and strain: Use water at 90°C to 95°C and steep for 3 to 4 minutes.
Serve over ice: Strain completely and pour into a heat safe glass or pitcher filled with ice.
Finish to taste: Add a small amount of milk, oat beverage or simple syrup if desired.
Caffeine and Best Time to Enjoy
This blend contains caffeine because it is made with black tea.
The amount in a cup varies with the leaf quantity, water volume and steeping time. It is well suited to mornings and afternoon tea breaks.
Individual responses to caffeine vary. Begin with a smaller serving if you are sensitive to its effects.
Serving Ideas and Food Pairings
