Sea Buckthorn tea

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare everything you need to make tea. Sea buckthorn can be used both fresh and frozen. Bring the water separately to a boil. Rinse the leaves of fresh mint with water. Tea brewing can be used black, green, white or with minor additives so that they do not interrupt the sea buckthorn aroma of the finished tea. I use black tea.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the tea-making dishes thoroughly and rinse with hot water so that it warms up. I'll be making tea in the French press. Pour a little black tea brew into a French press and add mint. By the way, mint can be used fresh, dried or frozen.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour boiling water over the contents, cover with a lid and leave to stand for 3-5 minutes. During this time, the tea will be brewed, the mint flavor will turn into tea. And the drink itself will cool down a little.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour sea buckthorn berries with boiling water and let stand for a minute. Why pour boiling water? If the berries are frozen, they will thaw and warm up quickly. For fresh berries, this process will also benefit. Besides the fact that the berries will warm up, they will be washed.

6. Step 5:

   

   Drain the water from the berries, and mash the berries themselves with a fork or spoon so that they let the juice out. To avoid splashing berries, throw a small towel over the bowl and hand with a spoon.

7. Step 6:

   

   Send the crushed berries together with the juice to the French press for tea. Mix everything and close the lid. Let the tea stand for another 5-10 minutes. Then lower the plunger of the French press to the bottom, thereby separating all the additives from the drink and pour the tea into the prepared cups. If you brew tea in a teapot, then strain the tea through a strainer.

8. Step 7:

   

   Add sugar or honey to the finished tea according to your taste. Have a nice tea party!
