Flavored Iced Tea

There are hundreds of different flavored iced tea possibilities using green iced tea, plain or in flavors, or adding your own fruits, spices, flowers, and herbs.

It boils down to one thing–too many choices.

You can start making a green iced tea with green teabags and commercial green teas in over a hundred different flavors. And that’s not counting the black, oolong, and white varieties.

Then you can make hundreds more variations by combining your own fruits, herbs, and spices.

It's enough to keep you busy for all the summers of your life.

Here are some of the most popular flavored iced tea selections:

• Lemon. Just add fresh squeezed lemon juice, homemade lemonade, or diet lemon drink powder.

• Mint. The most cooling solution for all the hot climates, deserts, and extreme summer weather days. Remember, there are a lot of different mint plants available now, so don’t restrict yourself to that familiar peppermint or spearmint.

• Fruit. Try peach, mango, raspberry, cherry, orange, apple, lime, pineapple, or any of your local fruit.

• Spiced. Ooh...ginger with peach, cinnamon with orange, mixed spices with apple or cherry, and of course, all those new green chai teas.

• Herbs. Beyond mint, there’s lemon verbena, lemongrass, and licorice. There’s French, Spanish, and English lavender. Grow your own stevia plant for a sweet calorie-free taste.

• Flowers. A mild jasmine or rose can work for green iced tea. Try adding some fruits for better flavor.

Mix and match according to your own tastebuds. Enjoy!
