Tea has no season! Ditching a hot cup of tea, try this wide range of flavoured Iced-tea this summer. They are cool, refreshing, tasty as well as mood-lifting. Iced-Tea also helps to keep your body and mind rejuvenated. Check the list of the most popular beverages in the town:
Blackberry Iced tea:
Make this sweet, plum-hued beverage by using fresh or frozen blackberries. Crush sugared blackberries with a wooden spoon, then mix with mint and baking soda. Combine with tea and let stand for an hour before straining. Add water, and chill before serving.
Iced Mint Tea:
To infuse the tea with the most mint flavour, refrigerate with the mint sprigs. But if you prefer a lighter mint taste, let the sprigs steep for 5 minutes, then remove before chilling. Traditional mint tea tends to be very sweet, so feel free to tailor the amount of sugar to your taste.
Watermelon and Basil Iced Tea:
Watermelon wedges add a light sweetness and make for a gorgeous presentation.
Hibiscus Tea:
Accent the floral flavour of the hibiscus tea with sparkling apple cider. This cool drink fits perfectly at a family picnic or an afternoon poolside with friends.
Lemonade Iced Tea:
This refreshing drink combines two summer favorites—lemonade and iced tea. Turn this into a cocktail by adding bourbon. (With Agency Inputs)
