You already had us at genmaicha and rose, but this Kyoto Rose Lemonade recipe takes our Organic Kyoto Rose tea and gives it a citrusy sparkle.
Genmaicha is a Japanese green tea mixed with toasted popped rice. It’s been drunk for centuries, originally to stretch out the supply of tea and make it last through the winter. We’ve added a kiss of rose to make our cozy, floral Organic Kyoto Rose blend, and this recipe mixes it with pink lemonade for a tangy twist!
Add some slices of fresh strawberry and lemon, and you’ve got a bevvie that’s just as pretty as it is refreshing! Scale up the recipe and it’s ready for a garden party.
