What to notice when making honey green plum tea?
When preparing honey green plum tea, there are some points to consider to get the finest flavor and experience. Firstly, choosing high-quality ingredients might bring a better result. Low-quality green tea leaves can lead to bitterness when brewing. Besides, fresh plums and pure natural honey will make your drink more aromatic.
Moreover, there are some considerations in the brewing method. If you want to get more flavors from the plums, you should infuse the plums directly with the tea leaves. Additionally, boiled water and long-time brewing are not recommended as they can make the tea bitter. To get a clear, bright tea liquor, make sure to strain the tea thoroughly to remove all the tea leaves and plum solids.
Furthermore, be careful with the sweetness of honey, as honey is about 25% sweeter than sugar. Therefore, start with a teaspoon of honey, then adjust the amount until it suits your taste. You can experiment with various ratios and materials to discover your perfect blend.
