- Jar
- Cups
Ingredients
- ½ Cup Dried Omija Berries 30 grams
- 1 Liters Of Water Normal
- Honey or Sugar To Taste Optional
- Few Ice Cubes
Instructions
- The first step is to rinse the dried omija berries properly. If you see any debris or stems, pick and remove them.
- After that, take a jar and pour the water into the jar.
- Add the washed omija berries to the jar.
- Now, refrigerate the jar for a minimum of 12 hours, allowing it to be steep. (24 hours would be much better)
- After this process is completed, take the jar out and put the omija tea into a cup. Add a few ice cubes as well.
- If you like, you can add a few spoons of sugar or honey, according to your taste.
- Serve your iced omija tea immediately.
Notes
- It is not recommended to brew the dried omija berries in boiled or hot water because it brings out too much sourness & bitterness. It is better if you brew the omija berries in cold water.
- Also, if you want, you can add a few pieces of pears, oranges, or grapes to the omija tea before serving it for a fruity flavor.
- If you want to give it an extra punch of tanginess, then you can add a few drops of lemon into the omija tea.
- You can also add a few crushed mint leaves to the cup before pouring the tea. It would give it a refreshing aroma of mints.
- If you love the flavor of cinnamon, then you can add a little bit of cinnamon powder to the tea.
