tips and tricks

  • not every fruit is used for flavour purposes, most of it is really just for looks. when it comes to flavour, there's only 3 that matters: orange, lemon, and passionfruit! the rest of the apples, watermelons, strawberries, etc is just for looks so you can replace these with whatever fruits you prefer

  • the lazy joann way: replace lemon with lemon juice and orange with orange juice. the better way tho is to use concentrated OJ! regular OJ is ok but obv the flavour won't be as strong

  • do i really need the sugar? yes. because we're adding in the sour flavours from the citrus fruits, if we don't add in at least a little bit of sugar, the flavour will be very singular

  • let's talk about tea leaves! there are three main types of tea: 1. non oxidized/fermented teas e.g. green tea with the fresh flavours and the most nutritional because its kept the most of its vitamin C, etc, 2. partially oxidized/fermented tea e.g. oolong tea, 3. oxidized/fermented teas e.g. black tea where the taste is a lot stronger, or even stronger like pu-er tea
