Extra Iced Tea Tips and Suggestions
Don't limit yourself to traditional black or green tea; try using herbal teas or flavored blends for added depth of flavor.
- Add fresh herbs, such as mint or basil, for a refreshing twist on your iced tea.
- For an extra burst of flavor, infuse your tea with fruit juices like lemon, peach, or mango.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different sweeteners like honey, agave, or maple syrup for a unique taste.
- If you're feeling adventurous, try adding sparkling water or kombucha to your iced tea for a fizzy and probiotic boost.
- For a more indulgent treat, top off your iced tea with a scoop of ice cream or sorbet for a homemade tea float.
- Make a large batch of iced tea and store it in the fridge for a quick and easy go-to beverage during hot summer days.
- Get creative with your garnishes; try using fresh fruit slices, edible flowers, or even boba pearls to elevate the presentation of your iced tea.
