Raspberry and Rose Mocktail with Mixed Berry Tea and Boba

Rosy Outlook is our raspberry, rose and coconut water idea, finished with Strawberry popping boba. The rose is a small detail, not the whole conversation. Start with a measured amount, let the raspberry come through and decide how floral you would like the next glass.

A little before you pour

Measure 20 ml of Tempo Mixed Berry Tea Concentrate for one glass. Add it with the other measured liquids listed below.

Raspberry seeds can get in the way of a smooth sip. Mash the fruit and press it through a sieve, then measure the purée. The amount of fruit needed varies, so start with about 70g and use a little more if necessary. Coconut water adds another flavour to the mix; different brands can taste noticeably different.

Culinary rosewater is the ingredient here. Rose essence, perfume and essential oils are not substitutes. Begin with one eighth of a teaspoon, about 0.6ml. If your rosewater is particularly strong, try less in a small sample first. Shake the liquids with ice, then strain them over the boba in the serving glass. The boba stays out of the shaker.

Rosy Outlook recipe

Serves 1. Allow about 8 minutes. Approximately 201ml liquid before ice melt, plus boba. Use a 300ml glass.

Ingredients

• 20 ml Tempo Mixed Berry Tea Concentrate

• 100ml coconut water + 40ml cold water

• 40ml strained raspberry purée

• 1/8 tsp culinary rosewater, about 0.6ml

• 25g drained Strawberry popping boba

• 60g ice for shaking; raspberries

Method

1. Mash about 70g raspberries and press through a sieve. Measure 40ml purée.

2. Add the purée, the Mixed Berry concentrate, coconut water, cold water and rosewater to a shaker.

3. Add ice and shake briefly. Put boba in a chilled 300ml coupe.

4. Strain the drink over the boba. Garnish with raspberries and serve.

Use culinary rosewater, not rose essence or essential oil. Taste before adding more.

Can I use frozen raspberries?

Thawed raspberries can be mashed and strained. Follow the pack’s preparation instructions, including cooking instructions where specified, then cool before mixing.

Can I swap coconut water for soda?

You can explore that as a variation, but it will change the flavour and texture. Add soda only after shaking, and never shake a sealed container of carbonated liquid.

Can I use a Mixed Berry can?

Use the concentrate and liquid measures in this recipe. The Mixed Berry can pairs its prepared tea with Blueberry boba and would need its own recipe.
