Raspberry Jasmine Tisane




There is never a bad time for a Tisane! This is a simple and refreshing treat for spring or summer! Always cool and refreshing, it would also be wonderful with a splash of vodka should you be ready for a drink.

1 c Jasmine Tea, cold
1 c fresh or frozen raspberries (partially thawed)
Simple Syrup

In a shaker, combine the tea and berries. Shake to mix and then pour into a glass. Add the simple syrup to the desired sweetness and enjoy!

Hibiscus Watermelon Tisane



A Tisane is a mixture of herbs, spices, and/or juices. Sometimes called Tea, it is not a true tea, as it contains no actual Tea Leaves:

Hibiscus Watermelon Tisane

1 tsp dried rose petals
2 tsp hibiscus
2 c watermelon juice
5 c cold water
simple syrup to taste

Bring the water to a simmer, then add hibiscus and rosepetals & let steep. Once cool, chill throughly and then stir in watermelon. If you feel it needs some sweetner, add to taste and serve. If you want it to be colder, I would make the ice cubes from the Tisane or watermelon juice.

I make the juice myself, its very easy!
