Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
To prepare tea, prepare everything you need. Sea buckthorn can be used both fresh and frozen. Bring the water to a boil separately. Rinse fresh mint leaves with water. Tea brewing can be used black, green, white or with minor additives so that they do not interrupt the sea buckthorn aroma of the finished tea. I use black tea.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the tea utensils thoroughly and rinse with hot water to warm them. I will brew my tea in a French press. Place some black tea in a French press and add mint. By the way, mint can be used fresh, dried or frozen.

Step 3

Step 3
Pour boiling water over the contents, cover with a lid and leave to stand for 3-5 minutes. During this time, the tea will brew and the aroma of mint will transfer into the tea. And the drink itself will cool down a little.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour boiling water over the sea buckthorn berries and let stand for a minute. Why pour boiling water? If the berries are frozen, they will thaw and warm up quickly. This process will also benefit fresh berries. In addition to keeping the berries warm, they will also be washed.

Step 5

Step 5
Drain the water from the berries, and mash the berries themselves with a fork or spoon so that they release the juice. To prevent splashes of berries from flying, throw a small towel over the bowl and your hand with a spoon.

Step 6

Step 6
Place the mashed berries and juice into a French press for tea. Mix everything and close the lid. Let the tea sit for another 5-10 minutes. Then lower the piston of the French press to the bottom, thereby separating all the additives from the drink and pour the tea into the prepared cups. If you brew tea in a teapot, strain the tea through a strainer.

Step 7

Step 7
Add sugar or honey to the finished tea to your taste. Enjoy your tea!
