How to brew

This is one tea that can be enjoyed hot or cold.

When served hot, it’s flavor really perks up when it is fused with a tiny amount of lemon juice squeezed from the fruit itself, and a dose of honey or brown sugar for that little extra sweetness.

When served cold, they go well with a mix of litchi juice or white grape juice.
