Tavalon Tea - Tea Soda

by Brandice Schnabel, Posted Jul 25th 2008 @ 3:01PM

Chris Cason is Tavalon's tea sommelier, and in this clip, he explains out to create simple syrup infused with tea, which can then be turned into a tea soda that sounds really quite tasty! I'm looking forward to trying this out on my own at some point. Have any of you created a unique beverage with tea?

My favorite kind is a black tea and spearmint tea mix. Then I pour it into a pitcher full of ice and voila! Delicious and refreshing mint iced tea.

Judging just from Brandice's description, this sounds similar to Coca-Cola's Enviga product (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enviga). Lawsuits against the health claims aside, I really like drinking it. It's difficult to chug or drink a lot of at once, but it tastes good -- a huge plus for me, a big guy trying to slim down by cutting things like HFCS out of his diet!
