Florapharm Pina Colada Fruit Melange 100 g

A pina colada fruit melange designed for hot-water infusion creates a tropical-flavoured drink by releasing the oils, sugars and aromatics from dried fruit and botanicals into boiling water. The process relies on heat to break down the plant cell walls, allowing the soluble compounds to dissolve and form a fragrant, coloured liquid without the need for straining or pressing.

To prepare the infusion, the operator measures the desired quantity of the melange into a heatproof vessel, adds freshly boiled water at 100 °C, and allows the blend to steep for 8 to 10 minutes. During this time the water extracts the flavours from the hibiscus blossoms, apple bits, coconut chips, rose hip peels, raisins and candied pineapple bits, producing a balanced drink with sweet, tart and floral notes. The infusion is then poured through a fine sieve or left to settle, leaving the spent fruit in the vessel.

The blend is supplied in a 100 g sealed pouch. Ingredients are dried and cut to standardised sizes to ensure even extraction and consistent flavour across batches.

The specified infusion time of 8 to 10 minutes determines the strength of the resulting drink; shorter steeping yields a lighter infusion, while the full duration produces a richer, more intense flavour. The temperature setting of 100 °C is the boiling point of water, ensuring maximum extraction without scorching the fruit.

Cleaning is limited to rinsing the vessel and sieve after use to remove any residual fruit particles.
