Bubbly, fruity and delicious. This beautiful tea cocktail is very easy to make and I assure you, it will wow your friends! I’ve been having it for brunch on hot days, just perfect. It doesn’t overpower the Champagne but it gives it a sweet, fruity flavor.

This mimosa tea cocktail is not exactly made with tea, but a fruit tisane. For those of you who might not know, tea only comes from Camellia Sinensis plant. The different tea types are White, Yellow, Green, Oolong, Black and Pu-erh. Everything that’s not those types of teas is a tisane/herbal infusion. Pure fruit tea is an example of a tisane. Now that this has been cleared up, I will (wrongly) keep saying fruit tea for this post just for simplification purposes.

Fruit Tisanes

Although I call it fruit tea, it doesn’t have any caffeine because it doesn’t contain real tea. Fruit tea is naturally sweet and healthy, it contains vitamin C, antioxidants and supports the immune system. It can safely be enjoyed by kids and pregnant women as long as you don’t drink huge amounts of it (still, during pregnancy always check with your health practitioner). Enjoy it hot or cold!

For this tea cocktail, it’s ideal to use a fruit tea with strong fruit flavors because we’ll be using it to make a light simple syrup. I recommend you to go for berries or tropical fruit teas like Tropical Harvest, Maui Mango, Sweet Berry Compote, or any other fruit tisane you like that has a strong fruit flavor. 

The ingredient list is short- fruit tea, sugar, water and a sparkling wine or Champagne. With the fruit tea, sugar and water we’ll make a simple syrup that will add sweetness and color to this tea cocktail, and then just add the sparkling wine to fill. Depending on the fruit tea you choose, you can decorate with strawberries, mangos, pineapples, or top with blueberries, etc.

Tea cocktails

Tea has been used for a while to make novelty cocktails and has been on the rise lately. The most common way to use tea in a cocktail is as a concentrate, but it can also be used to make a simple syrup which will also add flavor and sweetness to the cocktail or by cold-brewing tea in alcohol (watch how it’s done here).

A tip for when making a tea concentrate for a tea cocktail is to increase the amount of tea leaves to infuse rather than increase the brewing time, unless specifically instructed. You don’t want the concentrate to be bitter, just strong. Also, always follow the suggested brewing temperatures for each tea type.

This recipe uses a fruit tea simple syrup, which requires some planning and time to prepare, but it’s totally worth it! To make the simple syrup you’ll need some tools & equipment:
– Measuring cup -> I love this particular set because it’s all you need in one. Space saver too!
– Small pot
– Funnel -> This set comes with a removable strainer and it’s perfect for making cold-brewed tea.
– Glass jar

This tea Mimosa is perfect for brunch, afternoon drinks or anytime, really! It would be great for parties too because the coloring makes it such an attractive drink, and I especially like that the color is natural and comes from the fruit tea. 

Here are some options of fruit teas that you can use to make this Mimosa tea cocktail:
– Tealyra – Tropical Harvest 
– Tiesta Tea – Maui Mango
– Tealyra – Sweet Berry Compote

    This sounds delicious – I’ve probably got a few tisanes lying around that would be perfect for this. Thanks so much!

I was mostly doing ‘western brewing’ and couldn’t find enough time to have many gong fu sessions. It always felt like too much of a time commitment... but since lockdown last March I started doing it every day.⁣

I end up drinking so much more tea! I fill a thermos with hot water and run through it in no time by steeping and re steeping tea using a gaiwan.⁣ So the answer to my question for me today, is by far my gaiwan!⁣

- A good quality Matcha. This is a make it or break it factor. ⁣
- Water at the right temperature: 175 F to prepare the Matcha base.⁣
- Last but never least, a great milk that froths well, tastes amazing and doesn’t have unnecessary additives. ⁣
⁣
Since I’m all about non-dairy milk, I experiment a lot and try different plant based alternatives. I wasn’t drinking too much almond milk because I found that it didn’t froth so well, until I found @mooala_koala . ⁣
⁣
Please look at that froth 🤩! (plus it is organic). Excited to find a great unsweetened almond milk that makes amazing lattes!⁣

I’m trying out a new Matcha today, Ujitawara Special by @naokimatcha . It is a blend from Tencha made of Uji Hikari and Samidori cultivars. It is a wonderfully sweet and mellow Matcha, with a smooth mouthfeel and balanced umami. Excellent to drink on its own.⁣
⁣
For those who specifically ask for good Matcha on @amazon , go for Naoki. It’s hard to find good Matcha there in between so much ‘Matcha noise’ and cheap quality ones.⁣
⁣
Where are you storing your open Matcha? I keep mine in the fridge, I find it stays fresh longer. Just make sure it is properly sealed

This one is called Waikato Black tea and it’s from @zealongtea estate in Hamilton, NZ (I got it from @rareteacompany ). The climate there is very foggy, it has lots of rainfall, and ideal temperatures with enough sunshine for tea plants to thrive.⁣
⁣
It is a very memorable tea. It is full bodied, but smooth and it has some minerality, honey and yamminess to it too. I absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend it! 😍 I’m enjoying it so much this Fall...⁣
⁣
Also, I was so intrigued about its production and location that I started looking into Zealong Estate. They have a beautiful website and they also produce Green tea,  Oolong and some herbals. The estate looks amazing and they offer tours too!

I’ve never been able to drink coffee nor I wanted to, but I would have loved to know Matcha before I did because I love the calm energy it provides (would have been so helpful during college years!).⁣
⁣
💡How to make Matcha? Start by sifting 1-2 scoops of Matcha (measured with a chashaku) or 1 tsp and add a bit of water at 175 F. Use your chasen (whisk) to incorporate all the Matcha powder and water using a circular motion. Then whisk vigorously doing ‘M’ or ‘W’ shapes to create froth. Finally, slowly add more water according to your thickness preference. Easy!⁣
⁣
If you drink coffee and Matcha how do both energy boosts compare?⁣
