Not overly sweet drinks, but a wonderfully refreshing and subtly flavored tea mocktail that also looks fantastic. For this mocktail, we will use <a href=\"https:\/\/thee.be\/en\/shop\/loose-leaf-tea\/green-tea\/sencha-fukujyu\/\">our Sencha Fukujyu.<\/a> This green tea from Japan has a strong grassy aftertaste, and when combined with a very lightly sweetened drink, it creates a perfect balance. For the pink drink, you can simply use your favorite fizzy pink drink. We personally prefer not-too-sweet drinks so that the Sencha doesn&#8217;t get overpowered. Fortunately, the choices in larger supermarkets today are plentiful.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21028 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/thee.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Recept-Sencha-Pink-Mocktail-281x500.jpg\" alt=\"Recept Sencha Pink Mocktail\" width=\"281\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thee.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Recept-Sencha-Pink-Mocktail-281x500.jpg 281w, https:\/\/thee.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Recept-Sencha-Pink-Mocktail-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/thee.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Recept-Sencha-Pink-Mocktail-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thee.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Recept-Sencha-Pink-Mocktail-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/thee.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Recept-Sencha-Pink-Mocktail.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 281px) 100vw, 281px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tea Tips: We are using green tea, and since it&#8217;s a delicate tea leaf, it&#8217;s best to brew the tea at a maximum of 80 degrees Celsius to prevent any bitterness. You can do this by using a kettle with temperature control or a thermometer. Or you could just guess, that works too. Once the tea has steeped strongly (you want a strong tea for this drink), remove the leaves and let it cool completely.<\/p>\n<h3>How to make it:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Cut your favorite fruit into small pieces, place them in an ice cube tray, and add water. Freeze overnight.<\/li>\n<li>Brew a pot of Sencha tea using Sencha Fukujyu at 80 degrees Celsius to avoid bitterness. Use more tea leaves than you normally would so you get a very strong tea. Let it cool completely and store it in the fridge until you&#8217;re ready to serve.<\/li>\n<li>Fill glasses to the top with the fruit ice cubes. Fill halfway with Sencha Fukujyu and top off with your favorite sparkling pink drink (preferably a not-too-sweet one).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The summer isn&#8217;t over yet, and we have the perfect drink to accompany those delightful summer evenings.
