• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
• 1 cup ice cubes
• Fresh basil sprigs, for garnish

Instructions

3. Add the pear puree to the brewed green tea, stirring well to combine.
4. Gently mix in the torn basil leaves, allowing the aromatic herbs to infuse the tea fully.

6. Garnish with a fresh sprig of basil and a slice of pear for an elegant presentation.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• For a natural sweetener, you can replace honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.
• Serve in a chilled glass for an extra boost of refreshment.
• Use sparkling water instead of regular water for a fizzy twist, making it perfect for parties.

Storage and Substitutions

• Refrigerate the prepared tea in an airtight container for up to 2 days to keep it fresh and flavorful.
• If fresh basil is unavailable, dried basil can be used, though fresh basil is recommended for the best flavor impact.
• Fall pears can be substituted with apples, offering a delightful seasonal variant.

Pairings and Complements

This Pear Basil Tea pairs wonderfully with light snacks like crackers and cheese, almond biscotti, or a fresh fruit salad. Consider serving it alongside a garden salad with a light vinaigrette for a refreshing lunch option.
