Tea Beer Ratios: Organic Jasmine Bouquet + Prickly Pear + Lager

The floral fragrance of Firsd Tea’s OCG020 Organic Jasmine Bouquet pairs well with the bright color and mild sweetness of Aseptic Fruit Puree’s Prickly Pear puree.

FOR TESTING

4 oz lager, or other light/mild beer

1 gram of OCG020 Organic Jasmine Bouquet green tea

0.5 Tbsp Aseptic Fruit Puree Prickly Pear puree

Jasmine green tea + prickly pear (right)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine 4 oz lager (or other beer with light/mild character) with 1 gram Organic Jasmine Bouquet into a French press or similar container
2. Place the beer + tea leaves in the refrigerator overnight
3. Check the tea leaves periodically to make sure they remain submerged during this steeping process

SCALE UP*

1 BBL beer

2 lbs OCG020 Organic Jasmine Bouquet

2.8 lbs Aseptic Fruit Puree prickly pear puree

* Estimated. Actual measures will vary based on type of beer used and desired results.

COMMENT

As mentioned before, experiment with beers with lighter characteristics. Beers with heavier/stronger profiles will easily overwhelm the delicate jasmine fragrance. Teas generally add a mild, dry mouthfeel. The prickly pear contributes a light sweetness and a bright red/pink color. As always, tweak the final product to make it your own.
