Green Tea Cheesecake with Raspberries and Raspberry-Mint TisaneMark Thomas

A tisane is a tea-like aromatic infusion; this one is a lovely partner to the cheesecake.

Test-kitchen tip:

The tisane doesn't really need sweetening, but serving it with rock candy swizzle sticks (available at candy stores and candyeveryday.com) adds a touch of whimsy.
