How to Make Fruit Tea?

The key ingredients are fruits, tea, water, and sugar or honey. The easy way to go about it is getting a fruit tea mix from your local tea store and let it steep to give you a cup of freshness. However, if you are looking to make it from scratch, here is a recipe to let you do it yourself.

Fruit Tea

We recommend using fresh fruits for this tea. But if you are using dried fruit pieces, remember to adjust the sweetness accordingly, as dried fruits tend to be coated with sugar. You can prepare this a few hours ahead as it is best served cold.
