Method
- If using fresh cashew apples, wash them very well, remove the attached nuts completely, chop the fruit, and blend with 1 cup water.
- Strain the puree through fine cloth, pressing gently; repeat if necessary to reduce fibrous solids and astringency.
- Bring 3 cups water just to a boil, remove from heat, and steep the tea bags 4 minutes. Remove them without squeezing.
- Stir sugar and salt into the hot tea until dissolved, then cool to room temperature.
- Combine tea, 1 1/2–2 cups strained cashew-apple juice, and calamansi. Taste and adjust with water or sweetener.
- Chill at least 2 hours.
- Serve over ice and keep refrigerated.
