How to Make Almond Tea

  1. Combine 4 cups of water and 1/2 cup of almond slivers in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the almonds to infuse their flavor into the water.
  3. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for another 10 minutes to further enhance the almond flavor.
  4. Strain the almond tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, discarding the almond slivers.
  5. Sweeten the tea to your liking with 2-4 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup (optional).
  6. Pour the tea into a pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
  7. Serve over ice and garnish with fresh mint sprigs or a few more almond slivers (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
