Brewer's advice: Let the tea brew for 3 - 5 minutes. Cut a fresh slice of pineapple into tiny cubes and add it to the brew.

Additional notes: Flavours were balanced greatly perfectly matching dessert tea standard and I would not change anything in this recipe.

Recipe:
1 bag of red bush tea.

210ml hot water.

20ml coconut milk.

6g brown sugar.

6g grated coconut.

Brewer's advice: Let the tea brew for 3 - 5 minutes. Cut a fresh slice of pineapple into tiny cubes and add it to the brew.

 Taste: Gently sweet with coconut bits.

Smell: Mild coconut.

Colour: Cacao with milk, bright brown, non-transparent.

Additional notes: I would go for rinded coconut next time. Bites seemed too big for me. Though, still enjoyable.

I used brown sugar because  I had it at home and also because it can make this tea have an exclusive ingredient.

 You can for simple white sugar, or if you want your brew to look posh ingredient then pick caster sugar.

 Here I should remind you, that if you change ingredients then it might take a few attempts to make your perfect brew.

Also, it does not need to be exactly 6g of coconut and 6g of brown sugar. You do your way. It took me three times to get to my perfect flavour as I needed to tune in the dosage of brown sugar.
