How to make iced tea at home

This is one of the more traditional iced tea options and you can make it using a range of different black teas, from Assam through to Earl Grey. Stir in a teaspoon or two of honey and throw in some lemon slices before serving.

This type of iced tea packs a real punch when it comes to flavour. Try using our Heath & Heather Organic Lemon & Ginger tea. You could even grate in some fresh ginger for an even zestier taste.

The subtle floral fragrance of chamomile pairs up perfectly with aromatic mint. You could even add in a few sprigs of fresh mint to enhance the flavour even further. If chamomile and mint iced tea isn’t quite sweet enough for you, try stirring a dash of agave nectar in or a sprinkle of stevia.

Echinacea has a light floral taste. As it can sometimes taste a little bitter, lavender and echinacea is a pleasant combo which works well for those fond of more floral-tasting iced teas.

Fruit iced teas can be a real treat on a sunny day and there are fewer options tastier than raspberry leaf. If you want to add a little extra sweetness to it, try tossing in some sliced apples. Other fantastic picks include blackcurrant, orange and coconut. Find out more about raspberry leaf tea and its benefits here.

Apple and cinnamon are a match made in heaven which tastes equally as delicious iced as it does hot. For an even more intense apple taste, add some sliced apple pieces. Lemon slices are also a great option if you want a little less sweetness.

One of the most popular iced teas is peach iced tea. With a refreshing fruity favour, it’s hard to resist and a perfect choice for a cooling summer drink. Simply make using peach tea bags and even add slices of fresh peaches for extra sweetness and flavour.
