The aromatic profile of Summer Sun
The moment you open the pouch, the fragrance is generous: a bouquet of ripe fruits carried by the natural aromas of mango and passion fruit. Apple and pineapple bring a sweet roundness, while lemon myrtle and lemongrass lend a bright, tangy freshness.
In the cup, the liquor reveals an amber hue with rosy tones, thanks to red beetroot. Pieces of apricot and peach add velvety softness, goji berry brings a lightly tannic note, and chili delivers a gently warming finish. Lime essential oil and bergamot aroma round out this zesty profile.
Passionflower and immortelle flowers add a quietly floral dimension. For a more herbal, soothing alternative, take a look at our after-work herbal infusion.
How to brew Summer Sun
Use 15 to 20 g of the blend per litre of water just at boiling point (100°C). Steep for 10 to 12 minutes, then strain gently. Best enjoyed as it is, without added sugar, to let the natural sweetness of the fruit and brightness of the citrus shine through.
For an iced version perfect on warm days, brew as usual, leave to cool, then pour over ice with a sprig of fresh mint. You can also cold-brew it: simply leave the blend in cold water in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours for a more delicate, thirst-quenching drink.
In the kitchen, this blend works beautifully as a homemade syrup, a fruity jelly or an artisan sorbet. If you're not sure which recipe to try, our herbal infusion guide will point you in the right direction.
Traditional uses and wellness
Passionflower is traditionally used to support relaxation and restful sleep, as noted in the monographs of the EMA. Lemongrass is recognised for supporting digestive comfort after meals, according to research referenced by ANSES.
Caffeine-free, this infusion is suitable for the whole family and fits naturally into the end of a day or a warm summer evening.
Storage
Keep your herbal infusion in its airtight tin, away from light, heat and moisture. The natural aromas and fruit pieces will stay vibrant for several months after opening.
