Ingredients

  • 1 ripe Green Anjou USA Pear, cored and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 filterbag Tazo Refresh Herbal Infusion Mint Tea with Tarragon
  • 3/8 cup boiling water
  • 3/8 cup Lavender DRY Soda (by DRY Soda Co.)
  • 3/8 cup Anjou Pear Puree
  • 1 fresh lavender sprig, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine the pear chunks, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan, then bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until the pears are softened and most of the liquid has evaporated. Let the mixture cool.
  2. Process or blend the pears until smooth, then refrigerate the puree until cold.
  3. Steep the mint tea filterbag in boiling water for 5 minutes, then remove the filterbag and refrigerate the tea until cold.
  4. In a large pitcher, combine the cold tea, lavender soda, and pear puree, then stir gently to reduce some of the carbonation.
  5. Pour 1-2 cups of the beverage mix over 2-3 ice cubes in a cocktail shaker, and shake gently for about 15 seconds until well chilled. Strain the mix into a glass, garnish with a fresh lavender sprig, and serve immediately.
