With summer approaching, our herbal teas are also delicious served chilled.

JustBe Loved tea cured salmon

with celeriac remoulade

Cure the salmon by mixing salt, sugar, lemon juice, zest and tea. Spread half onto a tray, place the salmon on top and cover with the rest of the mix. Wrap the tray and place in the fridge for 72 hours. Remove, rinse the salt mix off and pat dry. Cut into thin slices.

Remoulade: peel celeriac, cut into thin slices then cut each slice as finely as you can. Place into a bowl, add mayo, mustard, seasoning, lemon juice and mix.

JustBe Energised crème brûlée

Crème brûlée: heat cream, milk and the cooled JustBe Energised tea. Allow to infuse for 10 mins. Pass through a fine sieve and gently warm up. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale, then whisk in the infused cream mix. Return to a clean pan, place on a very low heat and stir continuously to 82c. When temperature is reached, pass through a fine sieve and pour into serving dish or some clean empty egg shells.

If you enjoy the JustBe Energised, why not experient using one of the other 6 herbal tea blends.
