CQ Strawberry Basil Infused Iced Tea Recipe
Ingredients
1 Pouch of CQ Strawberry Puree
12 Stalks of Basil
3 Gallons Brewed Iced Tea (Chilled)
Cutting the Perfect Slice
USING A SLICER OR MANDOLIN ONLY, cut a test slice and compare it to the CQ Slicer Key/Wand’s handle. Adjust your slicer or mandolin until your slices match the thickness of the CQ Slicer Key/Wand. Once calibrated, slice up all ingredients as necessary.
Decorating the Beverage Dispenser
To set the insert in place, position a slice at each corner of the jar between the insert and the jar. Use the CQ Slicer Key/ Wand to push the slices all the way down. Decorate the rest of the jar using the CQ Slicer Key/Wand to position the remaining slices as shown in the picture.
Infusing the Iced Tea
Using the CQ Slicer Key/Wand to measure the iced tea level, fill the CQ Mixing Bucket with 3 gallons of freshly brewed iced tea (chilled). Add 1 pouch of CQ Puree and stir.
Next, place a metal strainer in the mixing bucket and muddle any remaining slices. This technique will ensure that no pieces end up blocking the spigot later.
Filling, Serving & Refreshing
Fill the beverage container to the top with ice cubes (about 10 lbs.) and add the CQ Infused Iced Tea. To refresh, add equal amounts of ice & CQ Infused Iced Tea.
