In Summer, as the heat wave rises, so do the cravings for refreshing drinks. The quick and convenient way might be going for ice-cold sodas and sugary drinks, but if you want something tasty and healthy, iced tea would be the perfect solution.
Here are five iced tea recipes you could try this Summer:
Classic Iced Tea
Simply brew either black, green, or herbal tea and let it cool. Now, once it’s at room temperature, add some ice, lemon slices, fresh mint, and just a teeny splash of your favorite fruit juice. To add some sweetness use honey or syrup.
