This shiso tea is beautiful and refreshing.
Ingredients
- 1 quart water
- 8 to 10 ounces fresh shiso leaves
- 1 to 2 tbsp lemon juice
- Honey, to taste
Directions
- Bring water to a boil in a stainless steel or ceramic pot, then add the shiso leaves.
- Allow water and leaves to come back just to a boil, then remove from heat and strain through a colander into a large bowl.
- After the leaves are cool enough to handle, squeeze out any extra liquid and add the lemon juice and honey.
- Before serving, dilute with water to taste. Shiso tea can be served hot or cold; it makes a refreshing drink either way.
