Iced Tea Recipes
While we are still in the middle of the beautiful summer, the need for refreshing, cool drinks is becoming more and more apparent. But we are also looking for variety. Maybe you are planning a BBQ, or a picnic and want to impress with new iced tea recipes, not just the standard flavoured water or cordial. Maybe you are looking to add to your hot and cold beverage offering, supplying your customers with a greater range of summer drinks.
While iced coffees are all the rage, it is not always necessary to have the caffeine hit or perhaps not appropriate if you are wanting to share with children. Step in iced tea!
With a huge range of flavoured and herbal teas at your fingertips, the iced tea recipe variations are endless. I have taken a look at three different flavours and have knocked up three super easy recipes you can try out and alter to your taste if necessary. Creativity is your friend here.
