Florapharm Apricot Peach Fruit Mélange for Infusions

A loose-leaf fruit mélange designed for hot-water infusions, blending dried apricot and peach pieces with complementary botanicals. The mixture releases flavour, colour and aroma when steeped in freshly boiled water, creating a caffeine-free herbal infusion suitable for any time of day.

The process relies on the natural oils and soluble compounds in the dried fruit and flowers. When immersed in water at 100 °C, these compounds dissolve and disperse, turning the clear liquid into a vibrant, fruity infusion.

To prepare, measure one portion of the mélange into an infuser or teapot. Pour freshly boiled water over the blend, ensuring all pieces are submerged. Cover and let steep for 8-10 minutes. Remove the infuser or strain the liquid into a cup. The blend may be reused once for a lighter infusion.

The ingredients are a combination of hibiscus blossoms, apple bits, raisins, apricot bits, candied pineapple pieces, elderberries, lemon peels and peach bits, with marigold blossoms added for colour. Each component contributes to the overall flavour profile, balancing sweetness, tartness and floral notes.

The 100 °C temperature setting ensures the water is hot enough to extract the full range of flavours from the dried fruit. The 8-10 minute infusion time is tailored to this blend, allowing the larger fruit pieces to soften and release their essence without over-steeping.

Packaged in a 100 g resealable pouch, the mélange remains fresh when stored in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight. After opening, reseal the pouch tightly to preserve aroma and prevent moisture absorption.
