This tea is intended to be drank cold-steeped or iced; but as usual, I prepared it also hot. The mentioned preparation methods will be tried within this week, aka hottest week this summer. Sadly, as I have only 5 grams left of my 10 grams sample, I can’t try their recipe: https://teerausch.de/melone-minze-eistee-rezept/
Surprisingly it’s refreshing even hot (read: luke-warm): pretty much distinct watermelon taste, not artificial and not too sweet… followed a bit with the white parts near the rind of the melon itself. After a sip a burst of menthol cools whole throat, thanks to peppermint used.
Overall, so easydrinking, genuine and fresh tasting tea was so nice today… I would definitely pick up more if I get the chance one day. I assume that recreating watermelon taste isn’t the easiest task to do in a hot drink.
