May 26, 2025

Why Choose Herbal Iced Teas for Summer?

Let’s be honest—when the heat hits, all we want is something cold, satisfying, and preferably not loaded with sugar.

Here’s why they’re your best bet:

Naturally caffeine-free
Hydrating and soothing
No sugar needed (unless you like it sweet)
Packed with flavor and health benefits
Customizable with fruits, herbs, and ice

Think of iced herbal teas as your chill summer sidekick—with none of the jitters, sugar crashes, or preservatives

Cold Brew Method (No heat, more subtle flavor):

Add 1 tablespoon of herbal tea per cup of cold water
Let it steep in the fridge for 6–12 hours
Strain and pour over ice

Hot Brew Then Chill (Faster, stronger flavor):

Steep 1 tablespoon in hot water for 5–10 minutes
