Instructions
- Prepare white tea by brewing it in boiling water, allowing the tea bags to steep for 4-5 minutes to extract optimal flavor essence.

Notes
- Steep with Precision: Use a timer to ensure the white tea doesn’t become bitter or too strong, as over-steeping can release tannic flavors that overpower the delicate tea profile.
- Temperature Matters: Let hot tea cool naturally to preserve the subtle nuances of white tea, preventing flavor loss and maintaining its delicate character.
- Juice Quality Boost: Choose fresh, 100% pure pomegranate juice for a more vibrant and authentic fruity taste that elevates the entire drink’s complexity.
- Customize Sweetness: Experiment with alternative sweeteners like agave nectar or stevia for different flavor profiles and dietary preferences, allowing personalization without compromising the drink’s refreshing essence.
