Ingredients:

  • Water
  • Thirty grams of whole or chopped almonds
  • Maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • Black tea leaves: Assam tea is a fantastic choice for its bold and malty flavours, perfect for pairing with almond milk in iced tea. It’s well-loved for its strength and richness, making it an excellent base for your drink. Alternatively, Darjeeling tea, often called the "Champagne of teas," offers a lighter and subtly sweet grape-like finish that can add a unique twist to your beverage.
  • Ice

 

Recipe:

Step 1: Make the Almond Milk

  1. Fill your Plantesia device up to the maximum level indicator with water.
  2. Add thirty grams of whole or chopped almonds. For a creamier texture, you can soak the almonds overnight, but it's not necessary.
  3. Optionally, add a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey for a touch of sweetness.
  4. Select the 'JUICE' function to start the milk-making process.
  5. Once done, let the milk cool down without sealing the lid completely to avoid any condensation souring the milk.
  6. Once cooled, refrigerate the milk.

Step 2: Brew the Black Tea

  1. Brew a strong black tea, letting it steep a bit longer than usual to ensure it's robust enough to handle the ice without becoming too diluted.
  2. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold.

Step 3: Assemble the Iced Tea

  1. Fill a glass with ice cubes.
  2. Pour the cold black tea over the ice.
  3. Add the chilled almond milk to the tea as per your taste preference.
  4. Stir gently to mix the flavours together.

Enjoy this delightful, homemade iced tea as the perfect companion to your spring and summer days. It’s not just a drink, but a celebration of health and flavor, handcrafted by you with Plantesia!
