What do a Nuclear Rainbow, a Canadian Zombie, the King of Denmark, and Abe's Tropical Night in Hell have in common? That's right, they are all drinks made with Grenadine. In fact, there are over 500 drinks mixed with the blood-red syrup made from pomegranates, red currants, and honey. The name Grenadine is derived from "Granada", the Spanish word for pomegranate. It was the Spanish who introduced Pomegranate trees to California in 1769 by transplanting them from the Caribbean. No one is sure of the whom, when, or why's regarding the invention of Grenadine syrup but we are sure of one thing: When added to a high grown Ceylon tea the results are amazing. This flavor of this tea is sweet with hints of honey. Try it over ice on a hot day and you won't be disappointed. The only thing missing is a fitting name like The Fuzzy Magnum or Spooky Juice. If you think of one, let us know!

Brewing Hot
Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Even though milk and a dash of sugar help enhance the flavor character on this tea, it is perfectly acceptable to consume this tea straight-up.
Brewing Cold
(to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water]. Please note that this tea may tend to go cloudy or milky when poured over ice; a perfectly normal characteristic of some high quality black teas and nothing to worry about!
