Oven-Roasted Herbal Tea Infusions: A Gourmet Snack Delight

Ingredients

- 4 cups water
- 4 herbal tea bags (your choice of flavor, such as chamomile, peppermint, or mixed berry)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). This low and slow temperature ensures the gentle roasting of the tea, preserving its herbal notes.

2. Prepare the Tea:
In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.

3. Steep the Tea Bags:
Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and add the 4 herbal tea bags. Cover tightly and let the tea steep for 10 minutes, ensuring maximum flavor extraction.

4. Remove the Tea Bags:
After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags, allowing any excess liquid to drip back into the saucepan.

5. Arrange for Roasting:
Pour the brewed tea into an oven-safe shallow dish, ensuring that the liquid is evenly spread.

6. Oven Roast the Tea:
Place the dish in the preheated oven. Roast for approximately 1 hour, checking every 20 minutes to stir gently. This process reduces the liquid and concentrates the flavors.

7. Cool and Serve:
Once the tea liquid has reduced to a thick syrupy consistency, remove it from the oven. Let it cool at room temperature before serving as a tasty, concentrated infusion that can be diluted with water or used as a unique tea base.
