Herbal iced tea is another great way to enjoy a cold beverage on a hot day! Like regular iced tea, herbal teas that are chilled are easy and fun to brew.
All you need is your favorite herbal tea and some ice!
If you want to get the most from your cold herbal beverage, it is highly recommended you brew from the whole and avoid any herbal tea bags. You will receive better flavor and benefits just as you would brewing iced tea from loose leaves.
Simply double the amount per cup, brew like you normally would (in fresh distilled water for best results), let cool down, then add more water until desired strength, and finally chill.
Below are some great ideas/varieties of herbal iced tea.
Chamomile tea with honey tastes great chilled! The already apple-like taste is perfect for folks who want a calming iced herbal tea before bed.
Rooibos tea, also called Red Bush, which is my favorite type of tisane, comes in a nice selection of flavors and is also enjoyed cold. Especially "apple cinnamon" Rooibos!
Ever had a sore throat and wanted some instant soothing relief? Well chilling spearmint or peppermint herbal tea is a great way to help ease a sore throat and tastes very refreshing when chilled.
Some fruit herbal iced tea varieties are, "apple cantata", "berry blast", "wild strawberry", "blood orange", and even "pina colada"! These are all herbal tea products of adagio.com, and consist of REAL whole fruit pieces that can be enjoyed hot or cold.
Basically any tea that is enjoyed hot can also be chilled, that goes for herbal and non herbal teas. And once again be sure and brew by the whole with fresh distilled water!
Many folks are turned away from these exotic names of tea when they brew and then taste it from a tea bag, and are not aware of the superior flavor they were missing out on!
