At Provence d’Antan, an infusion is more than just a drink — it’s a full sensory experience. It pairs beautifully with sweet delights, enhances savory dishes, and even becomes the base for original aperitifs. Discover our curated selection of perfect pairings to delight your taste buds in every season.
Heat the Water
Bring the water to 203 °F (95 °C) — the ideal temperature to extract the full depth of flavors and aromas.
Measure Generously
Pour 100 ml of very hot water into a container, then immerse 3 infusion sachets to achieve a rich, concentrated blend of aromas and flavors.
Adjust the Steeping Time
Steep for 6 to 8 minutes for a classic herbal infusion or white tea.
Steep for 2 to 4 minutes for green tea.
Steep for 4 to 6 minutes for black tea.
- This steeping time allows the essential oils, fruity notes, sweet nuances, and tangy accents of the plant to fully develop.
Let It Cool
Remove the sachets and allow your concentrate to cool, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Use Your Concentrate Like a Syrup
Dilute with ice cubes, still or sparkling water for an instant iced tea.
Add it to a cocktail for an aromatic twist.
- Pour it into a bottle of gin to create a unique infused spirit.
Let Your Imagination Run Wild
Experiment, blend, taste — this concentrate is your ally for original, aromatic creations with no added sugar.
