One of our most aromatic and elegant teas is the Lux Jasmine Dragon Pearls. We’ve tried many hand-rolled Pearls and this was a well-balanced one that’s floral, gentle and sweet, without being overpowering. These Lux Pearls have been naturally scented six times by Mr. Lin, the tea farmer, from Fuding, Fujian Province; while the jasmine flowers come from Guangxi, where it has earned nationwide recognition.
This Cold Brew version is very crisp, floral & elegant—and extremely easy to make with just 2 ingredients, plus a sweetener of your choice. We highly recommend having a glass in the afternoon if you’re looking to relax and refresh, and want something indulging. Or have it with sunset on a wine glass, as it deserves. Low caffeine. ☺
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp of Jasmine Dragon Pearls (Spring Harvest)
- 4 cups of water (or 1-liter Pitcher/Carafe/Juice Jug)
- 1 cup diced Lychees
- 1 tbsp of honey (optional)
Serves: 1 Liter
Instructions:
- Rinse the Jasmine Dragon Pearls with hot water for 5 seconds. Discard the water.
- Then, mix all the ingredients in a pitcher, French press or Carafe.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight and adjust to your liking.
- Strain all the ingredients out of the pitcher and pour through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Serve with ice.
Notes: We’ve made several versions of this Cold brew. The 1st being the classic version of just water & Jasmine Dragon Pearls Tea. That was crisp and floral.
The 2nd time was infused with fresh Lychee fruits*. This was slightly fruity, elegant & delicious; however, the lychees were a bit delicate for our taste. It didn’t shine as it should. If you prefer to have more lychee flavor, you can use a blender to mix the lychee fruits with the Jasmine Dragon Pearl Cold Brew. It will create a more robust fruity flavor. This can be made as a slushie too!
*We’ve tried both fresh lychee and canned lychee. The advantage of using canned lychee was being able to use some of the lychee syrup as our sweetener, which enhanced the flavor. This is a great option as well. It’s probably cheaper too.
