Tisane Tea

Tisane, aka fruit tea, can be enjoyed both hot in colder months and iced in warmer months. A light, refreshing glass of iced tea makes for a perfect compliment to a warm summer day. Keep reading to see some of our favorite recipies and brewing guide.

We have some fun recipe ideas with a new twist to sip on in the warm afternoons while you’re still pretending to be on vacation. Sweet tea, Arnold Palmers, and Lemonade have been a long-standing American tradition of warm afternoons. Fruit teas fills that craving for cold refreshing tea without the sugar. Here is an easy and fast way we recommend using a TEAZE. Just following the directions listed for hand steeped tea below using the brewing method for an easy guide to make refreshing Passport Tea.

Brewing Teas- Hand Steeped
1. Add the tea ( use tea guide below) to the Teaze Infuser by lifting the lid and pouring the tea into the open container. 

2. Add hot water (see recommended temperature) and pour into the top of the Infuser.

3. Start your timer (see tea guide) as soon as the water touches the tea and you close the lid on the Teaze Infuser.

4. Simply lift the Teaze Infuser and place it on top of the cup. Tea will dispense from the bottom of the Teaze Infuser. There is no pouring involved.  

5. Clean your Teaze Infuser by popping out the filter at the bottom. Rinse and wash the inside, or place it in a dishwasher.
