Doğadan Böğürtlen (Blackberry Mixed Fruit Tea) is a fruit and herbal infusion rather than a traditional tea, sold in a box of 20 tea bags. According to the brand's website, the blend contains hibiscus (bamya çiçeği), apple, blackberry leaf, rosehip, blackberry flavouring, orange peel, elderberry, blackberry and cinnamon, and stevia is also on the list. Doğadan explains that hibiscus is what gives fruit teas such as this one their deep red colour and tart taste when brewed.
Turkish households often reach for fruit infusions like this one after dinner, in place of a second glass of black tea, or on winter evenings when a warm, fragrant cup is wanted. Brew one bag in freshly boiled water for about 5 minutes. For a summer version, brew it stronger, let it cool, then pour it over ice with a slice of orange or a few fresh berries. It also works well as the base for a fruit-tea punch served in a jug.
Keep the box closed in a cool, dry place, away from strong-smelling products such as coffee, so the aroma stays fresh. The pack design has changed over time and the ingredients above are taken from the brand's current website, so please check the box in your hands for the most up-to-date ingredient and allergen information.
