Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup ripe Green Anjou USA Pears, cored, unpeeled, cut in 3/4-inch chunks
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 tablespoon 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
  • 3/8 cup Anjou Pear Puree
  • Fresh lavender sprig, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine pears, water, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes until pears are softened and the liquid has reduced.
  2. Process or blend the pears until smooth, then refrigerate the puree until cold.
  3. Steep the mint tea 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. Stir gently to reduce some of the carbonation.
  5. Pour the beverage mix over ice cubes in a cocktail shaker, then gently shake for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
  6. Strain the mixture into a glass, garnish with a lavender sprig, and serve immediately.
