This mild tea has a lightly sweet and herbal flavor. Of course, the longer it sits, the more flavored it becomes. If you don’t have thyme, you could always substitute basil or marjoram, though they might be overpowering if you add too much.
One Year Ago: Apple Crisp
Plum and Thyme Fruit Tea
- 3 tea bags of black tea (more if you like strong tea)
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 plum, sliced
- Sprigs of fresh thyme, lightly crushed
In a glass 2 cup measuring cup, boil 2 cups of water in the microwave. Remove from microwave and add the teabags. Allow to steep for about 30 minutes. Drain hot tea into a pitcher. Add honey, plum, and thyme sprigs. Add more water if desired. Allow to sit so the flavors blend, about 2 hours. Serve over ice.
I’m loving this! Although I have to have two (yes, two) cups of coffee each morning, I make quite a bit of tea…iced and hot. Your photos are very pretty too.
Thanks! I drink way more coffee than tea so this was a nice change for me.
It looks so refreshing!
That tea sounds so good and refreshing!
I usually drink coffee but sometimes I like to mix it up a bit. Fruit tea is a great way to do that…
