Sweet Summer Fruit Tea


Fruit gone soft,
sun streaming in,
throats got a tickle,
fruit tea I begin.


One raspberry sachet,
heat it up and steep.
The fruits gone soft,
gonna use it on a leap.


Plum's red and juicy,
knife cuts right through.
Textures a tad mealy,
don't let it get ya blue. 


The flavor is prime, 
and so are the peaches.
I threw one in too,
cut it up in tiny pieces.


I use my favorite tool,
it goes zen-zen, zen-zen.
Buzz it all together:
A forced infusion.


Tea is not food,
so strain out the pieces.
What's left will be smooth,
fruity and delicious.


Add a pinch of salt,
and give it a stir.
Take a taste! Go ahead.
Give it a whir.


Gently sweet, is 
what I typically go for.
Add some sugar
two teaspoons...or a little more..


Spin the tart nectar
glossy bubbles congregate atop
Refreshing ambrosia
you'll want every last drop.


Still a little warm,
maybe you like it that way.
Add a little ice,
and share if you may.

  • 2 quarts of water
  • 1 sachet of raspberry tea (or any other flavor)
