How to Brew Fruit Tea

Brewing Moosa Nature's dried fruit tea is simple, fun, and rewarding. Whether you prefer it hot, iced, or cold-brewed, our fruit teas deliver vibrant flavor and real nutrition in every cup. Here is your complete brewing guide.

Method 1: Hot Brew

The classic way to enjoy Moosa's fruit tea. Perfect for cozy mornings or relaxing evenings.

Step 1: Add a serving of dried fruit tea to your favorite cup, mug, or infuser.
Step 2: Heat water to about 200 degrees F (just below boiling). Boiling water works too, but slightly cooler water preserves more delicate flavors.
Step 3: Pour the hot water over the dried fruit and let it steep for 3-5 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavor.
Step 4: Sip and enjoy the tea. The water will take on the fruit's color and natural sweetness.
Step 5: Eat the rehydrated fruit at the bottom of your cup with a spoon. It is soft, flavorful, and packed with vitamins and fiber.

Pro tip: You can steep the same fruit a second time for a lighter, still-flavorful cup. Just add more hot water.

Method 2: Iced Tea

Refreshing and perfect for warm days. Moosa's fruit teas make beautiful, colorful iced drinks.

Step 1: Brew the fruit tea hot using the method above, steeping for 4-5 minutes for a stronger concentrate.
Step 2: Let the tea cool to room temperature. You can speed this up by placing it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
Step 3: Fill a glass with ice and pour the cooled tea over it.
Step 4: Garnish with fresh mint, a slice of citrus, or a few fresh berries for extra flair.
Step 5: Enjoy the iced tea and eat the fruit when you are ready.

Pro tip: Make a larger batch by brewing in a pitcher. It keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Method 3: Cold Brew

The smoothest, most mellow flavor. Cold brewing brings out the natural sweetness of the fruit without any bitterness.

Step 1: Add a serving of dried fruit tea to a jar, bottle, or pitcher of cold water.
Step 2: Place it in the refrigerator and let it steep for 4-6 hours. For the strongest flavor, steep overnight (8-12 hours).
Step 3: The water will gradually take on the fruit's color and flavor as it steeps.
Step 4: When ready, pour into a glass (with or without ice) and enjoy.
Step 5: Eat the cold-brewed fruit — it will be fully rehydrated and delicious.

Pro tip: Cold brew is excellent for meal prep. Make a big batch on Sunday and enjoy it throughout the week.
