Iced Tea Pitcher Bags, Mediterranean Blue
Iced Tea Pitcher Bags, Mediterranean Blue
3 x 30g Teabags
Each bag makes a 4.0L / 1 Gallon pitcher of iced tea.
Place 1 teabag into a quart / 1 liter jug (that can withstand boiling water). Draw freshly filtered cold water and bring to a boil. Pour boiled water over the teabag. Steep for 4-7 minutes, longer steeping time results in stronger tea. Squeeze teabag as you remove it (captures all the flavor). Pour contents from 1 quart / 1 liter jug into a serving vessel and dilute with 3 parts cold water. Lightly sweeten to taste (simple syrup is recommended). Add ice as required. Garnish and serve.
From the promenades of St. Tropez to the blazing shores of Tripoli, the shimmering blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea have attracted sun-worshippers and seafarers for centuries. Long before the Mediterranean became a global sun destination, this vast watery expanse served as something of a highway of sorts for merchants and traders who bought and sold their wares up and down the coastlines â a practice that predates even Roman rule of the area.
One of the more prominent of these trades was the agriculture and spice trade. Ships laden with spices would set sail from Northern Africa, Phoenicia and what is now the Middle East, their cargo having already made laborious trips overland or via ocean routes, sometimes for years at a time.
METZ Mediterranean Blue hearkens back to these ancient days, when European markets teemed with dried spices and flowers, fresh from the holds of the ancient freighters. A stunning blend of pointed herbs, sweet floral notes and jasmine, the cup is nothing short of a Mediterranean summer in drinkable form. Cheers
