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.

Place the beer + tea leaves in the refrigerator overnight
Check the tea leaves periodically to make sure they remain submerged during this steeping process

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.
