How to make a TEA SODA

This is how we make them at Zoomdweebie’s

• Brew about 1/3 cup of strong flavored tea like our Cherry Vanilla Cola flavored Black Tea.
• Disolve 1/2 cup sugar into tea.
• Allow to cool or pour over ice.
• Finish with about eight ounces of carbonated water or “sparkling water”.
• Stir and enjoy!

We’re pushing the envelope again this week! With some bottled beverage manufacturers offering sodas made with tea, we thought we would put a different spin on it and offer a tea flavored with soda! Here’s our Cherry Vanilla Cola flavored black tea.

Proving once again that we’re not your Aunt Beatrice’s tea blender, this blend has real cherries, vanilla bean pieces and all natural cola flavor. It’s a great tea for a tea soda, so we’re posting our tea soda recipe for those of you who are interested.

The first cola was created by druggist John Pemberton in 1885. He named it Coca-Cola, reportedly after the two crucial ingredients: cocaine and kola nuts. In a sense, Pemberton was a sort of tea blender only he worked with tisanes and carbonated water.

The tenth individual (one reply per person, please) to reply to this post via email with the correct answer to the following question will receive a free pouch of tea! Question: Who invented the first cola?

By special request, we have reformulated our cherry flavored black tea. This new blend includes real freeze dried cherries.

The person who requested this blend enjoys it at Zoomdweebie’s as a tea spritzer, so it seemed like a good time to pass on our spritzer recipe. Hope you enjoy:

How to Make a Tea Spritzer Zoomdweebie’s Style

Combine 1/3 cup sugar with 1/3 cup hot, brewed tea (such as this Wild Cherry Flavored Black Tea)

Mix until sugar is disolved.

Pour into a large glass of ice

Top off with Coke or Sprite

Technically, we use a 12oz. can of soda with the sweetened tea and enough ice to yield a 24oz serving. Cherry Coke anyone? Pina Colada Honeybush Sprite? Yummm

HOLY SMOKES! Now THIS is a tea! We pulled out all of the stops on this one folks, and created something really amazing and unique. Good luck finding a tea like this anywhere else.

We blended our premium black teas with dried bananas, dried pineapple, organic cacao nibs, vanilla beans, freeze dried strawberries and freeze dried cherries. The result?

DELICIOUS! With the first sip you get the sweetness of the bananas, strawberries and pineapple, then the chocolate and vanilla and faint hint of cherry follow as a soothing aftertaste. We thought maybe there were too many flavors in it, that everything would become muted and muddied, or, we thought, it might turn out so that one flavor dominated the rest so that it was pointless to have so many flavors, but honestly, this blend could not have turned out more perfect. It is every bit of the banana split experience in a tea.

This limited edition blend is going to go FAST, so get yours today before it sells out. You will not be disappointed.
