How to Make
Steep the Cherry Rose tea bags for 4–5 minutes. Remove the bags and refrigerate the tea until cold.
Combine the tart cherry juice, lemon juice, simple syrup and rose water.
Stir in the chilled tea and taste. The rose should remain delicate rather than perfumed.
Fill two stemmed glasses with ice and pour in the cherry-tea mixture.
Add sparkling water and garnish with cherries, lemon peel and a few food-safe rose petals.
Tea Substitution
Use Rose Garden for a caffeine-free floral version or Very Berry for a fruitier crimson spritz.
