Hot moringa tea

How to Make Moringa Tea: The Classic Hot Cup

Serves 2Ready in 11 min

Here's the cup everything else in this book builds on. One Original moringa tea bag, water just off the boil and a few minutes of patience give you a smooth, earthy, never-bitter mug. A splash of fresh orange juice adds a little natural fruit sweetness, so there's no honey, sugar or syrup.

Ingredients

• 2 Organic Moringa Tea - Original tea bags
• 2 cups (475 ml) fresh filtered water (475 g)
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh orange juice (62 g)
• 2 thin orange slices, to serve (30 g)

Method

1. Bring the filtered water to a boil in a kettle or saucepan. Take it off the heat and let it sit for about 30 seconds, until it is 195-205°F (90-95°C). Big bubbles have settled and steam is still rising
2. Place 1 tea bag in each mug. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of the hot water over each bag. Bags are fully submerged and the water starts to tint
3. Cover each mug with a saucer and steep for 3-5 minutes. Use 3 minutes for a lighter cup and 5 for a fuller, earthier one. Water is a pale golden green and smells grassy and mellow
4. Lift out the tea bags, pressing each lightly against a spoon to release the last of the tea. Discard the bags. Bags are removed and the tea looks clear
5. Stir 2 tablespoons of orange juice into each mug. Float an orange slice on top and sip while hot. Tea is lightly sweet and citrus-scented

Tip: Each Organic Moringa Tea - Original bag is made for one 8 oz cup. If you want it stronger, add a second bag rather than steeping much longer.

Moringa Powder Tea: A Strength Guide from Light to Bold

Serves 3Ready in 14 min

One pot of gently steeped Original moringa tea, three mugs, three strengths. Whisk in a little, a bit more or a full serving of Organic Moringa Powder and find the cup that suits you. A spoonful of apple juice adds fruity sweetness, so there's no honey, sugar or syrup. About 10 minutes of active time.

Ingredients

Tea base

• 24 oz (720 ml) fresh, filtered water (720 g)
• 3 Organic Moringa Tea Original tea bags (6 g)
• 3 tbsp (45 ml) 100% apple juice, unsweetened (47 g)

Light cup

• 1/4 tsp Organic Moringa Powder (1 g)

Medium cup

• 3/4 tsp Organic Moringa Powder (2 g)

Bold cup

• 1 1/2 tsp Organic Moringa Powder (4 g)

Method

1. Heat the water to 200°F (95°C), just off the boil. Use a thermometer, or take it off the heat as soon as it stops rolling. Steam rises and only small bubbles break the surface.
2. Pour the hot water into the heatproof jug, add the 3 tea bags and steep for 4 minutes. Lift out the bags and let them drip into the jug without squeezing hard. The tea looks pale golden-green.
3. Line up the 3 mugs and label them light, medium and bold if you like. Add 1 tbsp apple juice to each. Three mugs, each with a spoonful of juice.
4. Add the powder to each mug: 1/4 tsp to the light, 3/4 tsp to the medium and 1 1/2 tsp to the bold. Pour 1 tbsp of the hot tea over each and stir to a smooth paste, pressing out any lumps against the side. No dry specks remain in any paste.
5. Pour about 8 oz (240 ml) of the hot tea into each mug and whisk for 15 seconds. Moringa powder disperses rather than dissolves, so whisk again just before sipping. Light looks pale green, medium a soft green, bold a deep green.
6. Taste the three side by side. Light is mellow and gentle, medium is rounded and earthy, and bold is deep, grassy and full-bodied. Keep the strength you like best as your everyday cup. You've picked your favourite.

Tip: Water just off the boil, around 200°F (95°C), suits the Original tea bags and keeps the cup smooth. Measure the powder with level spoons so each strength comes out the same every time.

Cold-brew and iced moringa tea

Overnight Cold-Brew Moringa Tea

Serves 4Ready in 8 hr 5 min

Some of the best tea is the kind you barely touch. Pop moringa tea bags into cold water at night, let the fridge do the work, and wake up to a smooth, mellow pitcher with no hot kettle and no bitter edge. A little fruit gives it a gentle sweetness, so there is no honey, sugar or syrup.

Ingredients

• 4 cups (950 ml) cold filtered water (950 g)
• 2 Organic Moringa Tea - Original tea bags (4 g)
• 2 Organic Moringa Tea - Mint tea bags (4 g)
• 1 small orange, sliced into thin rounds (130 g)
• 1/2 cup (75 g) strawberries, hulled and sliced (75 g)
• Ice, for serving

Method

1. Pour the cold water into a clean jar or pitcher. Add the Original and Mint tea bags, tucking the tags over the rim or trimming them so they don't dangle in the water. All bags are fully submerged.
2. Add the orange slices and strawberries. Press the strawberries gently with a wooden spoon to release a little juice. Water takes on a faint pink tint.
3. Cover and refrigerate at 40°F (4°C) or below for 8 hours, or overnight. Don't go past 12 hours, as the fruit will turn soft and the brew can taste flat. Tea is a pale golden-green and smells minty.
4. Lift out the tea bags without squeezing them, then pour the tea through a strainer into a clean pitcher. Save a few orange slices and strawberries for serving. Tea is clear and no fruit pieces remain in the pitcher.
5. Fill four glasses with ice and pour in the tea. Garnish with the saved fruit and stir before sipping. Glasses are frosty and the tea tastes lightly sweet from the fruit.

Tip: Moringa Tea Original has an earthy, grassy flavor, and the Mint bags add a cool, crisp lift. For a bolder pitcher, add one extra bag of either rather than steeping longer.

Hibiscus Moringa Iced Tea

Serves 6Ready in 2 hr 45 min

A pitcher of ruby-red tea is hard to beat on a warm afternoon. Tart, floral hibiscus moringa gets a gentle round-out from Original moringa and fresh orange juice, so you never need honey or sugar. Strawberries and orange slices do the rest. Brew it once, chill, and pour all day.

Ingredients

• 4 Organic Moringa Tea - Hibiscus tea bags
• 2 Organic Moringa Tea - Original tea bags
• 4 cups (950 ml) filtered water, just off the boil (950 g)
• 1 cup (240 ml) cold filtered water (240 g)
• 1 cup (240 ml) fresh orange juice (248 g)
• 1 cup (150 g) strawberries, hulled and sliced (150 g)
• 1 medium orange, thinly sliced (130 g)
• 4 cups ice cubes (480 g)

Method

1. Heat the filtered water until it is just off the boil, 195-205°F (90-95°C). Place the 4 Hibiscus and 2 Original tea bags in the heatproof pitcher and pour the hot water over them. Water is steaming, with no rolling bubbles, and the bags are submerged.
2. Cover the pitcher and steep for 4 minutes. Hibiscus turns the water a deep colour quickly. The tea is a deep ruby red.
3. Lift out the tea bags and discard them. Stir in the orange juice and the cold water. The tea looks bright and evenly mixed.
4. Let the pitcher cool on the counter for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. The pitcher feels cold all the way through.
5. Slice the strawberries and orange while the tea chills. Keep the fruit in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
6. Fill six glasses with ice and divide the strawberries and orange slices among them. Pour the chilled tea over the top and stir gently. Glasses are full, with fruit floating through the ruby tea.

Tip: Add the 2 Original bags alongside the Hibiscus bags in the same pitcher. Their smooth, earthy flavour softens the tartness, so the fruit does the sweetening.

A moringa tea for every time of day

  Lemon & Ginger moringa tea, bright and warming to start the day.

• Afternoon

  Iced Original moringa tea with fruit, a cool swap for a sugary drink.

• Evening

  Lemon & Chamomile moringa tea, a calm, caffeine-free cup to wind down.

Tip: Moringa tea tastes earthy and grassy, like a mild green tea. If it tastes too strong, steep it for less time rather than adding more water.
