Winter Cordial Like most good things, this cordial gets better with time. Allow this blend to steep for at least two weeks for the flavours to really come together. We use a combination of two Earth’s Aromatique organic teas, Rosehip Rooibos, and Bountiful Berry to lend an aromatic and flavourful note to this otherwise warm and indulgent beverage. It is fruity, aromatic, not cloyingly sweet, and unique enough to wow your dinner guests when it’s time for dessert. But let’s face it: after a long day, we might just kick back and enjoy a glass all to ourselves. Can be enjoyed on its own or added to a cup of tea by the teaspoon.
YIELDS APPROXIMATELY 625 ML
DIRECTIONS: In a 500 mL lidded jar, add Rosehip
⅓ cup Earth’s Aromatique Rosehip Rooibos loose leaf tea
