Green Tea Guava First Train

Guava's tropical fragrance is a good match for green tea's slightly bitter edge. Ginger gives the finish a small amount of warmth, especially once the drink has rested for a few minutes. Use plain guava juice and brew the green tea gently so neither sweetness nor bitterness overwhelms the combination. If your juice is a thick nectar, add a little more cooled tea. This has a distinctly fruity aroma with a clean tea finish, and it contains caffeine.

Ingredients

• 1 tea bag Green tea
• 6 oz Water
• 2 oz Guava juice
• 2 slice Fresh ginger, thinly sliced

Make it

1. Brew the tea in the measured water, using the temperature and steeping time on its packet. Remove the tea bag.
2. Cool the tea in a heatproof container, then chill for about 30 minutes.
3. Mash any soft fruit in a separate glass. Lightly bruise herbs or ginger; add these and the listed juices or spices to the cooled tea.
4. Stir well and taste. Remove ginger or herb sprigs when their flavor suits you. Strain if you prefer a smoother drink, then serve chilled.
