Cascara could be described as a “blend” of coffee and tea but tastes more or less reminiscent of tea. These are dried peels of coffee strawberries, which leave a pleasant fruity-sweet taste when extracted with cold or hot water. Cascara is a mild caffeinated beverage as it contains several times less caffeine than coffee and is, therefore, suitable for many refreshing drinks. In addition, many people prepare it instead of morning green or black tea. Due to its high antioxidants and low caffeine content, many people feel more “fresh” and with much more energy after drinking cascara.
Cascara is an excellent source of antioxidants that are essential for well-being and a robust immune system. Due to its low caffeine content, it is suitable for drinking throughout the day, which allows it to be used in a wide variety of cold and winter hot drinks.
Soak the cascara in cold water overnight, or somewhere between 15 and 24 hours. In the morning, drain the cascara. Pour it into a glass with lots of ice cubes, add lemon juice and mint. Refreshing “coffee lemonade” is ready !!!
Soak the cascara in cold water (preferably if the water is really cold) with ice cubes and leave it soaked overnight or somewhere between 15 and 24 hours. In the morning, drain the cascara. Pour it into a glass with lots of ice cubes, add orange slices and grated ginger. Let the glass stand for a few more minutes so that the ginger and orange give off the taste and the drink is ready !!!!
Cascara tea is prepared like any other tea beverage. Soak the cascara in boiling water (for a stronger taste a little more) and wait for 4 – 6 min. Then the tea is drained and can be spiced if desired. It is also suitable for drinking with ice as iced tea for hot summer days.
