DATÇA WINTER TEA ON THE ROAD TO BECOMING AN INTERNATIONAL BRAND
The recipe of the “Hot Winter Drink,” created by Datça Municipality employee Sekine Ölmez, was named by the athletes participating in the 20th International Datça Open Sea Winter Swimming Marathon: “Datça Winter Tea.”
It all began before the award ceremony of the 20th International Datça Open Sea Winter Swimming Marathon, which was held for the 20th time this year under the leadership of Datça Municipality.
After the races held last Saturday, athletes who came to the ceremony area looked for a different kind of hot drink to warm up at the Municipality-owned Public Café, beyond the usual tea and coffee options.
THE SURPRISE DRINK OF THE DAY: DATÇA WINTER TEA
In an environment hosting nearly 500 athletes and their companions from Greece, Italy, Switzerland, Northern Ireland, the USA, England, Azerbaijan, Syria, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Spain, and Turkey, the surprise of the day came from café employee Sekine Ölmez.
Ölmez served athletes the hot winter drink she had personally created and prepared according to her own recipe. When the drink was greatly appreciated, she received high praise from the guests. As the entire supply of the drink ran out before the ceremony, the athletes themselves named it “Datça Winter Tea.”
COMPLETELY NATURAL, SUGAR-FREE, YET VERY SWEET: DATÇA WINTER TEA
The inventor of Datça Winter Tea, Sekine Ölmez, emphasized that no sugar is used in the blend, stating:
“It contains star anise, cinnamon, cloves, natural grape juice, pomegranate juice, and sliced orange—nothing more.”
However, she did not wish to disclose the proportions of the ingredients.
