Left overnight in the fridge, the leaves release their fragrance slowly into cold water, and by morning the pitcher only needs lychees and ice; Dammann Frères’ Organic Jasmine Tea Bags, an Ecocert-certified green tea, keep all the grace of jasmine.

Serves 4 · 5 min + 8 h chilling

  1. Place 4 tea bags of Organic Jasmine in a pitcher with 4 cups (1 liter) of cold water.
  2. Refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight, then remove the tea bags.
  3. Add a dozen peeled lychees, fresh or canned and drained.
  4. Serve over ice, lightly sweetened with a spoonful of the lychee syrup if you like.
