How to Brew Blackberry Jasmine Blast Tea Hot and Iced

Quick Answer

For hot tea, steep 1 teaspoon of Blackberry Jasmine Blast Tea in 8 oz of 175°F water for 3–4 minutes. For iced tea, double the tea leaves and steep hot, then pour over ice.

Step-by-Step Brewing Guide

1. Measure the Tea: Use 1 teaspoon of Blackberry Jasmine Blast Tea per 8 oz (240 ml) of water for hot tea. For iced tea, use 2 teaspoons per 8 oz to account for dilution from ice. Using too little tea results in weak flavor; too much can make it bitter. Adjust to your taste next time.
2. Heat the Water: Heat fresh, filtered water to 175°F (80°C). If you don't have a thermometer, bring water to a boil and let it sit for 2 minutes before pouring. Boiling water will ruin the delicate jasmine flavor—always let it cool slightly.
3. Steep Hot Tea: Pour the hot water over the tea leaves and steep for 3–4 minutes. Cover your cup or teapot to keep the heat in. Remove the leaves after steeping. Steeping longer than 4 minutes can make the tea astringent. Set a timer to avoid over-steeping.
4. Prepare Iced Tea (Hot Brew Method): Steep 2 teaspoons of tea in 8 oz of 175°F water for 4 minutes. Remove the leaves, then pour the hot tea into a glass filled with ice. The ice will melt and cool the tea while maintaining flavor. Don't steep the tea directly in cold water—it won't extract enough flavor. Always brew hot first for iced tea.
5. Serve and Enjoy: For hot tea, sip as is or add a touch of honey if desired. For iced tea, garnish with fresh blackberries or a mint sprig for extra flair. Both versions are delicious unsweetened, but a small sweetener can enhance the blackberry notes if you prefer.
