Information: The boysenberry, a largish purple-red berry, was not created by Mother Nature. This fruit traces its heritage, to a Napa ditch. Horticulturist Rudolph Boysen simply happened across a chance selection of berries growing in this ditch one fine California day. The chance selection was some wild raspberries, blackberries, and a few logan berries. Rudolph Boysen decided to cross breed the berries. In doing so, he created the tart, sweet fruit, known henceforth as the Boysenberry. Try this tea iced. Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to just before a boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cut in the teapot. Pour your hot water over the leaves. Let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (The longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Iced tea brewing method: Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of very hot water over to tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and garnish and sweeten to taste if desired. |
