Rode Zon is a deep-red infusion of blood orange and hibiscus — the colour comes from flowers, not from a jar. Brewed cold, it is a glass that looks like a spritz. Brewed hot, with a cinnamon stick and a slice of orange, it tastes like mulled wine. Without the wine, without the sugar, without the hangover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy your terrace drink is cheating you — and your winter mug too\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA spritz is 8 euros for one glass full of sugar and alcohol. A bottle of iced tea from the supermarket is sugar water with a tea-bag past. And the 'winter tea' on the shelf? Flavouring on a bag. Rode Zon turns that around: fruit, water, and nothing else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCold: a sunset in a glass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet it steep cold for a few hours and something special happens: the hibiscus slowly releases its deep-red colour, the blood orange comes forward, and the sharpness you would get with hot water stays away. Soft, fresh, fruity — a glass that looks like a cocktail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHot: mulled wine without the wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater at ± 90 °C, steep 3 to 4 minutes — no longer, or the hibiscus turns sharp. Cinnamon stick in, slice of orange on the rim. The whole room smells of December. Caffeine-free, so also for the children at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to brew\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCold brew\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 tablespoons per litre of cold water. 4 to 8 hours in the fridge. Strain, add ice, slice of orange on the rim — done. \u003cem\u003eTip: set it up before bed, and fresh tea is waiting for you all the next day.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHot\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 heaped teaspoon per cup, water at ± 90 °C, 3 to 4 minutes.

You can drink it all day — in the evening too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I drink it hot too?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, especially in winter. ± 90 °C, steep 3 to 4 minutes, cinnamon stick and slice of orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there cinnamon in it?\u003c\/strong\u003e No — cinnamon and the orange slice are a serving tip, not an ingredient. So you decide how 'Christmas' you want it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much do I get out of one bag?\u003c\/strong\u003e At 2 tablespoons per litre, 100 g is good for about 8 litres of cold brew.
