Hey, folks!
I had been meaning to try this recipe, and I finally managed to concoct it today. It's from The Republic of Tea. This is a syrup recipe that you can use to add to your beverages or food.
Ingredients:
1 cup water
4 Republic of Tea tea bags (select your favorite)(1)
1 cup sugar
How to Make:
1) On stove top, heat water to boiling in a saucepan. Remove from heat, add tea bags and infuse for 5 minutes.
2) Remove tea bags. Return saucepan to stove top and bring to a slow boil. Add in sugar, stirring constantly until sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
3) Simple syrup can be stored in a sealed glass container and refrigerated for up to 1 month.
Serving Suggestions
Add to lemonade, sparkling water or spoon over vanilla ice cream for a special treat.

So, what did I think of it? Well I didn't like it. I thought it would texture like maple syrup, but it didn't. It's just water and sugar to me. I think that the one cup of sugar doesn't help. Perhaps half a cup, instead? I think doing it like that, would bring out the flavor of the tea of your choice the most.
(1) I used their Be Well Red Tea called get relaxed No. 14 for Relieving Stress, which you can find here. It has damask rose and lavender, and it's one of my favorites.
