Amaretto flavored tea is great for experiencing the smooth almond taste connected with amaretto but without the effects of the alcohol. It has a velvety feel in the mouth and makes a great after dinner tea. This amber-red liqueur is enjoyable in all its many forms including tea drinks.

If you enjoy learning about the history of things
you might find one story of how amaretto came about a little interesting.

Amaretto means “a little bitter” in Italian. Now
would you believe the first bottle of amaretto made was because of a love affair? It's certainly colorful and as rumors go
entertaining. The painter
Bernardino Luini
who created the Madonna fresco in the Santa Maria delle Grazie Church located in Saronno
Italy
received the handmade gift from the innkeeper. Not unusual
except that the innkeeper's romantic interest
which inspired the creation of the liqueur
had grown while posing as a model for Bernardino.

You might also be interested to know that the almond flavor associated with amaretto comes from apricot stones
or pits. The original drink was probably made from grape brandy in which apricot stones were left to soak
or infuse. Accidents have been the catalyst for many of the beautiful and functional things we have today
but whether amaretto came about by accident
or intentional
we have no idea.

Amaretto flavored tea is made in different forms. You can
for instance
add the syrup directly to the teapot
for an ultra-fresh and delicious tea. You can also buy green and black teas with amaretto flavoring. This comes in handy if you sometimes like to disguise the grassy flavor of green tea. We like to mix things up sometimes so we frequently buy syrups to add flavors to our usual teas.

Being creative with your tea is a lot of fun and drinking amaretto flavored tea is a great new alternative to the usual tastes and flavors of traditional teas. Make sure to try this tea and remember that teas like this can be enjoyed year around
and any time of day.
