Many people agree that there's nothing quite like a nice hot cup of tea to get their morning started right, and afternoon tea is a pleasure no tea lover wants to go without. However, there are times when preferences and palates call for something besides a plain cup of tea. Milk, sugar, honey, and lemon are common additions designed to provide tea with extra flavor, but did you know you could bring a whole new taste dimension to the table by adding a drop or two of culinary grade oil to your tea? It's exceedingly easy, and there are pairing combinations to match any personal preference.
Here are five tea and culinary grade oil pairings designed to help residents of apartments in Oceanside, California, get the most from their favorite cup of tea.
Rose Oil and Earl Grey Tea
A couple of drops of culinary grade rose oil adds depth and complexity to any cup of tea. But it really shines when added to Earl Grey, because the rose flavor blends so well with Earl Grey's trademark top notes of bergamot.
Honeysuckle Oil and White Tea
Honeysuckle oil has a light, delicate sweetness that pairs perfectly with white tea. It shouldn't take more than one drop — adding too many drops increases the risk of the oil overpowering white tea's graceful flavor profile.
Cinnamon Oil and Black Tea
Although cinnamon sticks are a common addition to a hot cup of tea, they really don't impart much flavor. Cinnamon oil provides an ideal partner for black tea's complexity and depth.
Lavender Oil and Lemon Tea
Lavender oil added to lemon tea provides a highly aromatic experience that's suitable for elegant occasions, as well as for solo sipping with a good book.
Peppermint Oil and Rosehip Tea
Brimming with vitamin C and featuring a strong, tangy taste, rosehip tea tastes even better with a drop or two of peppermint oil. As an added benefit, peppermint oil may soothe an upset stomach.
Our apartments feature patios with stunning mountain views perfect for relaxing with a cup of your favorite tea. Please don't hesitate to contact us at your convenience for more information about enjoying life in beautiful Southern California.
