Floral Cold Brew White Tea with Fresh Violets.

Floral Cold Brew White Tea with Fresh Violets

White tea leaves and fresh wild violets steep together slowly in cold water overnight, drawing out the most delicate, quietly floral brew imaginable. White tea is the lightest and least processed of all teas - its flavor is soft, slightly sweet and almost honeyed — and fresh violets add a musky floral note that feels completely at home here. Pour over ice and top with sparkling water for a spring drink that is as beautiful in the glass as it is to make. Simple, unhurried and completely seasonal.
