Fruit Infused Iced Teas

Unknown
Fruity and crip, iced tea is a classic refreshment on a sunny day. Now that the weather is kinder, it’s time to quench your thirst and try one of these recipes including different infusions and flavors.  If you’re accompanied by guests, pour and serve your beverage in a glass server and let the colorful tea party begin!   

 • For the perfect infused tea, choose any herbal or leaf tea as your base. We prefer black, green, or white. Start off by brewing your tea in an automatic tea maker to make about 4 to 6 cups.  

 • Next, pour your brewed tea in a glass server and add 1-2 cups of ice. Additionally, you can throw in your infusion ingredients like frozen or fresh fruit, citruses, or herbs. Try these below for the tastiest combinations:

 Hibiscus and Strawberry: 3 Hibiscus tea bags or 2 tablespoons loose - brewed, 1 cup fresh sliced strawberries, 4 stalks of rhubarb, 1 tablespoon raw honey

 Citrus Rosemary: 3 green tea bags or 2 tablespoons loose - brewed, 1 sliced orange, 2 springs of rosemary, 1 lime juiced, 1 tablespoon raw honey

 Watermelon Mint: 3 bags of white tea or 2 tablespoons lose, 4 cups blended watermelon, 4 sprigs of mint

 • Finally, you may choose to sweeten your tea with honey, maple or agave syrup. Take note that adding a sweetener to the entire pitcher is best if the whole beverage is to be consumed right away. If you prefer to leave your tea to infuse over the course of a few days, simply sweeten per serving.
