Fruit Of Love Mar Tea Ni – Lychee Martini Recipe by Laura
 Laura @FeelBetter Milton Keynes, England This is a fragrant summer cocktail made from in-season lychees, French and Spanish fruit liqueurs and a Scottish gin. Lychees always catch my eye, glistening with their odd spiky coats and varying shades of red and yellow and I find them irresistible. They have a long history, having been cultivated in southern China for over 2,000 years and were a prized fruit of emperors and royalty, reflecting their perceived value and their deliciousness. They are referred to as the ‘fruit of love’. Their aroma is distinctly floral due to a compound called linalool which is also found in lavender and basil. Whilst beautiful on the outside, the seed is toxic if ingested so should always be removed. Caorunn (pronounced ka-roon) is a gin handcrafted in small batches at Balemnach Distillery in the Scottish Highlands and is made in the London dry style. In addition to six traditional botanicals, juniper berries, coriander seeds, orange and lemon peel, angelica root and cassia bark, it is infused with locally foraged botanicals, rowan berry, bog myrtle, heather, dandelion leaf and coul blush apple grown in Ross-shire. Distilled in a copper berry chamber originally intended for perfume production in the 1920s - the only one of its kind used in gin-making. Caorunn is super smooth but full-bodied with a hint of spice and awakens the delicate flavours of lychee and adds depth to the berry and lychee liqueurs. Serve from a teapot into a martini glass and top with a fresh lychee. #CA2025 This is a fragrant summer cocktail made from in-season lychees, French and Spanish fruit liqueurs and a Scottish gin.

The answer to your question, when there is cold-brewed coffee, there is also cold-brewed tea. Very much like cold brewing coffee, the process reduces the tannins from releasing into your tea. In other words, less bitterness and astringent flavor comparing to when brewing coffee or tea hot. I made 2 separate cold-brewed tea: a combination of green tea, lemon and blueberries, green tea and oranges. You can use red tea, earl grey, or a combination of different types of tea. As for the fruits, I would recommend citrus and berries. I am not sure about apples, pears, or stone fruits tho. But I am sure they are worth exploring and experimenting with. If you are intrigued, you can also add in some spices to your preference as well. Cinnamon, ginger, allspice, etc. The possibilities are endless. This just amps up a whole new level of tea-drinking experience! I really hope you will give this recipe a try and start cold brewing. Cheers!

Recipe by caramel-cookie cookpad.japan Macrobiotic Green Tea Chestnut Muffins Macrobiotic Green Tea Chestnut Muffins I thought up this snack to send to my mom for Mother's Day. I referenced Kyaramerina's recipe "Spring-Colored Green Tea Soy Milk Steamed Bread" for the marble pattern technique. And I used "Macrobiotic Apple Muffins" as a base for the batter itself. I want the marron cream to be centered after the muffins are freshly baked, but it tends to sink to the bottom when baking. When you fill the batter, be sure to place the cream close to the top. Make sure to cut the chestnuts in half before adding them. They will be too heavy if you use a whole chestnut and will sink into the batter. Gently place the chestnuts on top without pressing them into the batter. They are also delicious with adzuki beans in place of the marron cream.
