ABOUT Refreshing Fruity Tart Kokum Infused Iced Tea RECIPE

Iced Teas are perfect summer thirst quenchers. Infusions of herbs, fruits etc make the Iced tea even more refreshing and delicious. Kokum sharbat is something that has been part of my childhood and here we give a twist to classic Iced green tea with this lovely sun dried fruit which is full of nutrients too.

Instructions

  1. Properly rinse sun dried kokum and soak it in a cup of boiling hot water for 30 minutes.

  6. In a pot boil the water. In a pitcher place the tea bags or loose green tea leaves and pour the boiling water over it.
  7. Cover and let it steep for 3-5 minutes.
  8. Don't seep it longer or the tea will taste bitter.
