The Science behind the Recipe
Green tea releases catechins during infusion, which provide a slightly bitter flavor, balanced by the sweetness of apple. Mint adds a layer of freshness, while the cold infusion process keeps the delicate aromas intact. This method preserves the tea's polyphenols, which are heat-sensitive, ensuring a drink rich in flavor and benefits.
Chef's Pro Tip
Professional Secret: When preparing the infusion, use chilled mineral water to preserve the natural elements of the ingredients. Gently stirring the mixture with a bar spoon helps release the essential oils from the mint.
