Tomato Tea

I had tomato “tea” at a restaurant a few months ago, and have been waiting for the opportunity to recreate, and put my own spin on it.  Of course, as this is made with the flesh of a tomato rather than the leaves it is not a true tea, but it is still delicious. Regardless of what you call it it is delicious, serve it elegantly in shot glasses, or drink it by the glassful.  Pop the leftover pulp into the freezer and add to the next bolognese or tomato based sauce that you make.

Keyword: tea, tomato tea
Servings: 1 mug
Calories: 27 kcal
Author: Helen Best-Shaw
Ingredients
  • 150 g good quality tomatoes
  • 200 ml BRITA filtered water
  • Sprig thyme
  • Pinch salt
  • Slice lemon
To Serve:
  • Couple of basil leaves
  • Celery salt
Instructions
  1. Place the tomatoes and BRITA filtered water in a blender (I use the Froothie Optimum 9400) and whizz for a few seconds until you have a smooth liquid.
  2. Strain through a muslin, then through a coffee filter paper.
  3. Pour into a pan, add the thyme and salt and bring to a simmer.
  4. Pour the hot tea into a tea pot and add a slice of lemon.
  5. Serve in shot glasses (dip the rims into water then celery salt) with a basil leaf.
Recipe Notes
  • You do need to start this in advance as it takes ages to filter, to speed things up filter it first through a jelly bag, or cheese cloth, then through a coffee filter for a crystal clear drink.

    I had never heard of tomato tea. I am amazed to see on your (beautiful) pictures that the tea comes out that transparent… It is such a great idea. I will need to give it a try! Thank you for sharing.

      It does need a double, and possibly even a triple filter Helene.

    This is so interesting! I’ve never heard of tomato tea before, but it sounds lovely. I bet using filtered water makes all the difference.

    Ooh it reminds me of the tomato essence soups (both cold and hot) that I’ve had at a few posh restaurants — the way they taste so intensely of tomato and yet are totally clear is such a hoot! Looks lovely.

      Entirely inspired by one Kavey! So delicious!

    Sounds delicious – I had a cold version before in a swanky restaurant and it was very refreshing, so look forward to giving this a try sometime.

      I need to make it again and add some vodka to the cold version!

    I love this idea, refreshing and delicious! I love the flavours and that left over tomato pulp can be frozen for future recipes as well. Such gorgeous photography too!
