Frequently Asked Questions About Plum Tea
Does Plum Tea contain caffeine?
Plum Tea made only with plums and water is caffeine-free. A packaged blend that also contains black or green tea may have caffeine from those tea leaves, so the ingredients determine the answer.
What is Plum Tea made from?
Plum Tea is made by steeping or simmering plums in water. Recipes use fresh plums, dried plums, or sometimes plum syrup; a syrup-based version is usually sweeter than a simple fruit infusion.
How do you make Plum Tea at home?
To make Plum Tea, wash and slice fresh plums or use dried plums, then steep them in hot water or simmer them briefly. Strain the drink if you prefer a clear tea, or leave the softened fruit in.
What does Plum Tea taste like?
Plum Tea has a fruity, mildly tart taste, though the flavor varies with the plum and preparation. Fresh plums tend to make a lighter infusion, while dried plums give it a deeper, sweeter flavor.
Can Plum Tea help with constipation?
Plum Tea made with prunes may help some people because prunes contain sorbitol, which can draw water into the bowel. Straining out the fruit removes much of the fiber you would get by eating whole prunes.
Is Plum Tea made with fresh plums or prunes?
Plum Tea can be made with either fresh plums or prunes. Fresh fruit makes a lighter, often tarter drink; prunes create a more concentrated flavor and may make the infusion sweeter.
Can you drink Plum Tea cold?
Yes, Plum Tea can be served cold. Brew it first, let it cool, then refrigerate it; if ice makes the flavor too weak, brew the tea a little stronger before chilling.
Should you add sugar to Plum Tea?
You can add sugar to Plum Tea, but it is not necessary, especially when using ripe or dried plums. Taste it first; honey or syrup also sweetens it and adds sugar to the drink.
Does Plum Tea help you lose weight?
Plum Tea does not cause weight loss on its own. Unsweetened Plum Tea can be a low-calorie alternative to sweetened drinks, while added sugar, honey, or syrup increases its energy content.
How long does homemade Plum Tea last in the fridge?
Keep homemade Plum Tea covered in the refrigerator and drink it within a few days. Discard it if it develops an unusual smell, visible mold, or an unexpected change in appearance.

What is Plum Tea?
Plum Tea is a fruit infusion made by steeping or gently simmering fresh or dried plums in water; it does not necessarily contain tea leaves. Recipes vary with the fruit, so the drink may taste gently tart, sweet-tart or more mellow, with a soft fruity aroma. It can be strained and served warm, or chilled as a refreshing drink. In places where fruit infusions are familiar, it works well as a caffeine-free alternative to regular tea; elsewhere, it is an easy way to use ripe plums at home. It is low in calories, at 18 kcal per 100 g, and contains vitamin C. For a lighter version, let the fruit provide the sweetness rather than adding sugar.
