If you're a loose leaf tea lover, I recommend steeping it your tea! it will alter the flavor slightly depending how much you use and the flavor of the tea you're using. In a fruity tea Iwd feel as if it only enhances that tea flavor. In a green tea it does add a little "berry" flavor, and in a black tea you barely notice it! 

Making a syrup is also an option if you have more people in your family that don't drink tea or If you don't want it in your tea. It's Really as easy as 123!
