Alternative recipes:
Cold brew: You could also cold brew this tea overnight if you wanted to avoid the cooling period. Simply add 4 - 6 spoons of tea to your cold brew bottle and top with cold water and steep overnight. This would make you approximately 4 servings. We don't recommend leaving your leaves in the cold brew bottle for much longer than overnight as the tea could go bitter over time.
Wobbly Unicorn Tea Cocktail: To make our famous Wobbly Unicorn cocktail all you need to do is to add 25 or 50ml of your favourite spirit of choice to the cocktail shaker along with the tea. We recommend vodka or gin.
Trouble Shooting Tips:
If your tea isn't brewing blue; you may not have enough of the blue flower in your infuser - try a heaped, even spoonful whilst being mindful that the flowers might have settled lower down your pouch/tin.
If your tea isn't changing colour to pink; the acidity isn't strong enough - Try the juice of a whole lemon or lemon syrup (like the stuff you put on pancakes!).

I have a question for you, the little coconut chocolate pots, what is it, do you spread it, make a drink out of it, sorry I have never seen them before.
