Freed from its spray of tea florets, an amaranth peeps pinkly after five minutes in 800 mls of just boiled water. As could be expected from this marriage of premium China green and its shy companion, the flavour is as new as a fresh-cut lawn. 

 

The bridal bouqet should be caught in a vassel of heat-proof glass -and may be enjoyed again and again by adding 800 mls of hot water twice more. 

 

Chilled, Bridal Basked makes a fresh and aromatic iced tea.
