Choose the ideal base: types of tea for your cold infusions

It all starts with a good choice. Depending on your tastes and goals, you can opt for:

  • Green tea: light, antioxidant, ideal for hydration and revitalization.

  • Black tea: more intense, perfect if you're looking for energy with character.

  • Herbal teas or infusions: such as mint, hibiscus, or chamomile, they provide freshness and digestive or relaxing properties.

Tip: make sure to use quality products without additives. The more natural, the better.

Two foolproof techniques for preparing iced tea

1. Hot infusion + quick chilling

  • Heat the water without boiling (80–95°C depending on the type of tea).

  • Infuse for 2 to 5 minutes, then remove the leaves.

  • Pour the tea over ice or chill it in a glass pitcher in the refrigerator.

Ideal if you have little time and want intense flavor.

2. Cold brew: cold infusion

  • Add tea leaves or bags to a jar with cold water.

  • Refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours.

  • Strain and serve with ice or fruit.

Advantages? It's smoother, less bitter, and better preserves its antioxidants. Perfect for healthy and elegant infusions!

Add your touch: fruits, flowers, and herbs that elevate the flavor

Personalize your iced tea with natural ingredients:

  • Fruits: lemon, strawberries, orange, blueberries.

  • Edible flowers: lavender, hibiscus.

  • Aromatic herbs: mint, rosemary, basil.

  • Natural sweetness: honey, stevia, or agave syrup.

Expert tip: freeze fruit pieces in ice cubes for an extra boost of freshness and color.

How to store your iced tea and serve it with style

  • Store the tea in the refrigerator in an airtight glass bottle.

  • Consume within a maximum of 48 hours to maintain freshness and properties.

  • Serve in tall glasses with ice, fruit slices, and a sprig of mint. Pure healthy art!
