Our mixed fruit teas have been big sellers this summer, says Pearl River Mart owner, Mrs. Chen. "They're pure fruit with no caffeine. They make very nice, very soothing iced teas." Her personal favorite is a mixture of red dragon fruit with mango and lichee black teas (so it does contain some caffeine). Here's her recipe:

Ingredients

• Lichee black tea (black tea leaves flavored lightly with lychee fruit)
• Red dragon fruit and mango tea
• Sugar
• Hot and cold water

Recipe

1. Put 2 tablespoons lichee black tea into a carafe
2. Put 3 tablespoons red dragon fruit and mango tea
3. Pour in 2 cups hot water (208 F should do)
4. Add one teaspoon sugar (more or less to taste). You can also use honey but that will change the flavor of the tea.
5. Stir
6. Let sit for one to two hours
7. Pour in about 4.5 cups cold water 
8. Let sit for about five minutes

Enjoy!

All teas are available at our Soho and Pearl River Mart Foods stores with a limited selection online. Check out this fun video of Mrs. Chen showing us how to make the tea.
