Okay, so maybe I got a little big headed with the title. However, I think this tea is absolutely fabulous. I was pondering and pondering what to do with the beet syrup I made earlier today, when it suddenly hit me. Beets are very woody. Tea is mildly woody. 2 + 2 = ??? The best part about this recipe is how I made it. I literally made some tea, dumped in the syrup and then said, “What else can I do to make it BETTER?” I’m not saying there’s no room for improvement. I’m thinking about steeping with a cinnamon stick next time. But, I think this is pretty awesome as it.
Ingredients:
- Gingered Beet Syrup
- 1 c. sugar
- 8 c. water
- 1/2 tsp. orange extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 lg. tea bags
Directions:
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and steep tea bags for 5 minutes. Pour together tea and syrup in a jug. Cap it and shake ’til combined. Add in the remaining 4 cups of water and the sugar. Cap it and shake ’til combined. Add in the orange extract and salt. Cap it and shake ’til combined. Serve either hot or iced.
