This Monday marks the start of summer and it also marks the start of iced tea season! It’s time to start using your pitchers and make cold and refreshing, iced tea! You may be stuck in a routine when it comes to making iced tea. But whatever the method you use, we've got ideas to make your next batch better!
Leaves And Herbs
To make your favorite brew extra tasty, try it with refreshing mint, lavender, basil, thyme, sage or cilantro. These amazingly fresh summer accents not only adds taste but style to your cup.
Fruit Slices
Add any fruit slices or bits to your tea for extra flavor! If you brewed a strawberry or blueberry tea, how about contrasting it with some lemon or lime? And in reverse, you can add berries and cherries to an acidic cup of tea to create balance. The possibilities are endless.
Flavored Ice Cubes
This idea is similar to the two above. The only difference is ice cubes. Sweetened ice cubes with fruit bits and and herbs, to be exact. Simply place some sliced fruit and fresh herbs in the bottom of your ice cube tray. Freeze the cubes and pop 'em out the next time you make a batch of iced tea! Play around with different combinations to find the best flavor for you.
Coconut Milk
Have you heard of thai style iced tea and bubble tea? Well both contain milk! After the tea is brewed, it's mixed with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk to make it creamy, rich, and sweet. It’s worth a try if you are looking for a new spin on your tea.
