Jee Choe je sommelierka za čaj i prava majstorica raznih napitaka od te namirnice - od 'pravog' čaja, preko raznih matcha inačica pa sve do sada aktualnih hladnih verzija. Oduševio me njezin profil na TikToku, a nakon toga otkrila sam i njezin blog Oh, How Civilized na kojem ne mogu prestati proučavati njezina odlične recepte za razne napitke. I ne mogu dočekati da ih sve probam!
@ohhowcivilized Link to the recipe is in my bio. I’m a Tea Sommelier and welcome back to my cold brew tea series where I make a new cold brew every week this summer. This is a raspberry lime basil cold brew tea. Using my cold brew tea formula of 1 tea plus 1 fruit plus 1 citrus plus 1 herb, I made this with English breakfast as my tea, raspberries as my fruit, lime as my citrus, and fresh basil as my herb. One of the best things about cold brewing tea is that you can use the cheapest tea and it’ll still taste fantastic. You don’t need to use the most expensive tea you have. Put the tea, raspberries, peeled lime, and torn basil leaves into a glass container. To get as much flavor from the fruit and tea, I mash it with a muddler. Pour in cold or room temperature water. Stir or shake the container so that all the tea is in contact with the water. Place it in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours. Strain out the solids and it’s ready to drink. It’s naturally sweet, a little tart, and so refreshing. #coldbrewtea #coldbrew #icedtea #teatok #tearecipe ♬ original sound - ohhowcivilized
Cold Brew ledeni čajevi idealni su za ljeto
Ovaj tekst odlučila sam posvetiti njezinim genijalnim receptima za cold brew ledeni čaj koji je savršeno osvježenje za ove (pre)vruće ljetne dane. Osim toga, imaju i genijalan okus, a nakon što isprobaš nekoliko njezinih ideja, sigurna sma da će ti svanuti i neka samo tvoja. Samo treba skužiti princip, a on je zaista jednostavan.
"Ovog ljeta svaki tjedan odlučila sam snimiti recept za jednu ukusnu cold brew kombinaciju ledenog čaja. Moja 'čarobna' formula za cold brew ledeni čaj uvijek je ista: 1 čaj, 1 voće, 1 citrus i 1 začinska biljka", objasnila je Jee.
@ohhowcivilized Link to the recipe is in my bio. I’m a Tea Sommelier and this is week 5 of my cold brew tea series where I make a new cold brew every week this summer. This week’s cold brew is spicy pineapple. Using my cold brew tea formula of 1 tea plus 1 fruit plus 1 citrus plus 1 herb, I used English breakfast as my tea, pineapple as my fruit, lemon as my citrus, and fresh mint as my herb. To give this drink a little spicy kick, I’m adding Jalapeño! The sweet pineapple goes so well with the spicy Jalapeño. Put the tea, chopped pineapple, peeled lemon, and torn mint leaves into a glass container. To get as much flavor from the fruit and tea, I mash it with a muddler. Pour in cold or room temperature water. Next, add a couple of slices of Jalapeño. The white pith of the Jalapeño is where the heat comes from, not the seeds, so start with just a little since even a small bit can make it spicy.. The first batch I made was too spicy so I had to make another batch without the Jalapeño to dilute it. Stir or shake the container so that all the tea is in contact with the water. Place it in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours. Strain out the solids and it’s ready to drink. #coldbrew #coldbrewtea #icedtea #iceddrinks #teatok ♬ original sound - ohhowcivilized
Odlične kombinacije sastojaka i okusa
A evo nekih njezinih kombinacija koje je do sada objavila:
- English breakfast crni čaj, ananas, limun i menta (ovoj kombinaciji dodala je i kriškice Jalapeño ljute papričice)
- English breakfast crni čaj, maline, limeta, listići svježeg bosiljka
- English breakfast crni čaj, jagode, limun, cvjetovi lavande
Sve sastojke Jee stavi u vrč ili bocu, malo zgnječi, zalije vodom sobne temperature, poklopi, dobro promućka, i stavi u hladnjak na 12-24 sata. Potom procijedi i cold brew ledeni čaj spreman je za posluživanje.
Uživaj u ovom savršenom osvježenju i genijalnim kombinacijama okusa cijelo ljeto!
Ledeni čaj ljeti je uvijek odlična ideja
Kako je meni ispalo?
Za sada sam isprobala jednu vlastitu kombinaciju - crni čaj s božićnim začinima i svježom narančom. Svježe voće ovaj put nisam dodala, no čaju je nedostajalo svježine pa ću sljedeći put svakako dodati i neku voćku, a i svježe začinsko bilje. No i ovako, bez svih 'obaveznih' dodataka moj cold brew ledeni čaj bio je pun pogodak!
