Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh grapes (red or green)
- 2 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Tea leaves (black or green, based on preference)
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (optional)
- 4 pieces Ice cubes (optional, for serving cold)
Instructions
Wash the grapes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residue.
Place the grapes in a blender and blend them until smooth to create a grape puree.
Pour the water into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the tea leaves. Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your preference for tea strength.
Strain the tea into a heatproof bowl or large measuring cup to remove the tea leaves.
Add the grape puree to the strained tea and stir well to combine.
If desired, add honey or lemon juice to enhance the flavor, stirring until fully dissolved.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any grape solids, leaving you with a smooth tea.
For hot tea, pour the finished grape tea into cups and serve immediately. For iced grape tea, allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then pour over ice cubes in glasses.
Enjoy your flavorful and refreshing grape tea!
