The Cambridge Dictionary defines elixir as “a substance, usually a liquid, with the magical power to cure, improve, or preserve something”.
That’s exactly what Dilmah Elixir of Ceylon Tea is. Well, sort of… The official product description states that it is a ‘natural extract of hand-picked Ceylon tea for iced tea, infused water, tea mixology, tea shakes and smoothies’ – which sounds pretty magical in itself.
What this essentially means is that, in these elixirs, we’ve got the natural health benefits that come from Dilmah’s single origin Ceylon tea, with its antioxidant-rich composition, as well as a rich versatility in terms of how the humble tea leaf can be enjoyed for its goodness and flavour, in a wide array of dishes and beverages. What’s more, there’s a sensational range of Dilmah Elixir products to play around with – from black tea extract with mango flavour, peach flavour, almond flavour, ginger and apple flavour, rose and vanilla flavour, and lychee flavour, to green tea extract with jasmine flavour. The possibilities are limitless and truly stimulating for the creative and innovative nook of one’s brain!
If you look through our database of tea-inspired recipes, you will find an endless number of food and beverage recipes that have used Dilmah Elixir of Ceylon Tea in the most novel and unexpected ways.
