Jasmine Tea

Jasmine tea is a fragrant green tea (though sometimes black or white tea is used) that has been scented with the aroma of jasmine blossoms. The tea leaves are stored alongside the jasmine flowers, allowing them to absorb the floral fragrance. The resulting tea offers a delicate, sweet, and floral flavor profile, making it a popular choice for those seeking a refreshing and aromatic beverage. The color of the brewed tea ranges from light green to golden, depending on the base tea and the steeping time.

Common Uses

  • Brew a soothing cup of jasmine tea: Use hot (but not boiling) water to steep the tea leaves for 3-5 minutes, creating a calming and fragrant beverage that can be enjoyed hot or iced. - Infuse desserts with jasmine flavor: Incorporate jasmine tea leaves or strong jasmine tea into custards, ice creams, and cakes to add a subtle floral note and enhance the overall flavor profile. - Use jasmine tea as a marinade for delicate proteins: Steep jasmine tea and use the cooled liquid as a marinade for fish or chicken to impart a delicate floral aroma and tenderize the protein. - Pair jasmine tea with light meals: Jasmine tea's delicate flavor complements light dishes like salads, seafood, and Asian-inspired cuisine, enhancing the dining experience. - Create refreshing jasmine tea-infused cocktails: Use strong brewed and cooled jasmine tea as a base for cocktails, mixing it with spirits like gin or vodka and adding citrus or other complementary flavors for a unique and aromatic drink. - Add brewed jasmine tea to rice: cook rice with brewed jasmine tea for a subtle flavor and aromatic twist that pairs well with asian dishes
