Hey, Reader!
When it comes to caffeinated beverages, coffee has a tendency to steal the spotlight. Hot, iced, you name it β so many of us sip it for a boost all day long.
Tea is often overlooked as something to sip when you're craving cozy vibes or to help battle a cold. But it's so much more than that! Tea time can truly be anytime thanks to a tasty variety of cold variations on the steeped sipper that are perfect for hot days.
The best part is that these drinks are easy to customize β start with a batch of cold brew iced tea, then swap out the sweetener, switch out the type of tea, or add a complementary flavor β so that you're left with something you'll love. Whether you're already a tea lover or a bit ten-tea-tive, these recipes are sure to fill your cup:
peach iced tea
Peaches + iced tea are a match made in heaven! With a sweet, smooth taste this tea is colorful and perfect for sharing. Adjust both the peach flavor and the sweetness to your liking!
tiger milk tea
With its signature brown sugar stripes and velvety milk tea base, this trendy drink is a delicious way to bring boba shop vibes home. It's easier than you think to make at home β you only need a few ingredients!
arnold palmer
Iced tea and lemonade are two of the most refreshing drinks out there and when combined, they're a force. Tweak the recipe with your favorite type of tea, preferred sweetness level, additional flavors or even vodka.
thai iced tea
This sweet, silky beverage is a refreshing indulgence reminiscent of your favorite Thai restaurant treat. Add a spot of rum or vodka to make it a cocktail!
hibiscus mocktail
Since hibiscus is found in a number of teas, this mocktail made the cut of my favorite iced teas. Tart notes from the hibiscus and lime are balanced out with a splash of spicy ginger beer for an ultra refreshing sipper.
Don't forget to prep a batch of tea ice cubes to cool things down. Since they're made of tea, they won't dilute as you sip like normal ice cubes would.
It's tea time!
