Brewed cherry tea made only from cherries is caffeine-free. Some blends include black or green tea, which does contain caffeine, so check the ingredients if you are avoiding it or drinking the tea near bedtime.
Brewed cherry tea is an infusion made by steeping cherries or dried cherry pieces in hot water. Some products use cherry flavoring or combine fruit with tea leaves, so the ingredients can vary by product.
Make brewed cherry tea by steeping fresh or dried cherries in hot water, then straining out the fruit. Keep the vessel covered while it steeps to help retain the aroma, and taste it before adding a sweetener.
No, brewed cherry tea is an infusion, while cherry juice is made by extracting liquid from the fruit. Tea is usually lighter in flavor and does not have the same concentrated fruit content as juice.
Yes, frozen cherries work for brewed cherry tea. Let them thaw slightly and remove the pits before steeping; their flavor may come through differently from dried cherries, which have a more concentrated taste.
Brewed cherry tea may be a soothing caffeine-free drink before bed if it contains only cherries. It is not a sleep treatment, and a blend containing black or green tea may have caffeine that can interfere with sleep.
No, brewed cherry tea does not cause weight loss by itself. Unsweetened tea can replace a sugary drink, but adding sugar or syrup increases its sugar content and it has no established fat-burning effect.
Yes, brewed cherry tea can be served iced. Let it cool after brewing, refrigerate it until cold, and pour it over ice; this preserves its fruit aroma without needing to sweeten it.
No, brewed cherry tea does not need sugar. Try it plain first; if you add sugar, honey, or syrup, the drink will contain more added sugars and taste less like the cherry infusion.
Store brewed cherry tea covered in the refrigerator and drink it within a few days. Discard it if it develops an unusual sour smell, cloudiness, or an unexpected change in taste.

Brewed cherry tea is a fruit-based infusion made by steeping cherries or cherry pieces in hot water; some blends also use flavouring. It has a gently fruity aroma, with a taste that can range from mildly sweet to pleasantly tart depending on the cherries and preparation. Drink it warm as a light alternative to other hot drinks, or chill it and serve over ice in warmer weather. In places where fruit infusions are popular, it can be enjoyed between meals or alongside a simple snack; it also works well as a caffeine-free option in the evening. It is very low in calories when served plain. Add a few real cherries while steeping for a fuller fruit flavour, and skip sugar if you want to keep it light.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
