Tea and food pairings
The complexity of After Five tea is fully expressed alongside desserts with a silky texture and bold aromas. A dark chocolate moelleux, a thin mint and lemon tart, or a cocoa shortbread highlight the tea's depth. Conversely, fresh mint ice cream or a bergamot mousse offer an airy counterpoint. These pairings play with its contrasts, revealing at times its freshness and at others its velvety warmth.
After Five Black Tea Recipes and Cocktails
In a cocktail version, After Five becomes a base that's as original as it is refined. Cold-brewed, it pairs with a light syrup of fresh mint, a dash of white cocoa liqueur, and a few drops of yuzu juice. Served chilled in a frosted glass, it evokes a liquid dessert, both vibrant and enveloping. Even more daring: an "After Five Martini," where the concentrated infusion meets a neutral vodka, a hint of cream, and a finely grated layer of dark chocolate. Serve after dinner to surprise and seduce.
