I remember fondly drinking Hot Fruit Tea in Taiwan during cooler days and it was just so comforting and warming. Tart, slight sweet and refreshing, this recipe has no caffeine so it’s okay to drink in the evening.

Here are links to the tea equipment I’m using:

Glass Tea Pot (I bought mine in a store long ago and threw out the packaging, but here’s a link to ones that look like mine + they are cheaper) https://amzn.to/1vFXn9k
