Searching around for a good tea to ice, I pulled this out so that I could eat my burrito bowl in peace. The one downfall of barely drinking tea for months…it’s really hard to pick one.
I checked my old note – I first tried to have this hot and it wasn’t very good. So I made it iced and sweetened it a little.
It’s pretty good iced. I can get some of the flavor profile you might associate with a lighter, sweet red wine – I think it’s the hint of spice there is to it? It’s very fruity. It’s too light to me to really taste like sangria, but that might be because it’s made with water and not wine.
I wish it was more apparent what kind of fruit it was. It’s just sort of berry and citrus, outside of the grape flavor of course. I think you have to walk a fine line sweetening this one, because the grape flavor is a little fake tasting. Too much sweetener could definitely put this into Kool Aid territory.
Kool Aid Sangria though…sounds interesting.
Oh and I must tell you about my bird. He is trying to talk to me. He is learning “pretty bird” so he just sort of almost says “pretty” over and over. And then when I say “pretty bird” to him again he makes these crazy noises like he’s really trying to get it to work. SO CUTE.
