We all love curling up with a warm cup of Healtheries tea during the winter months, but how can we enjoy our favourite flavours of tea during summer? Check out a variety of ways to use our teas cold!

Refreshing Drinks and Smoothies

Fruity Iced Tea
Combine 1L of cooled brewed Hawkes Bay Nectarine Tea (made with 4 tea bags) with 4 slices of orange and 2 slices of lemon in a jug and leave for a few hours for the flavours to infuse. You also may like our summer punch or iced tea recipes

Chia Drink
Add 3 Tbsp of Chia Seeds to 1 cup of brewed Tropical Tea and place in the fridge to cool for a few hours or overnight. Mix your cooled chia tea with 1 cup of lemonade, juice or coconut water and enjoy.

Iced Tea Smoothie
Brew your favourite fruit or berry flavoured tea and pour into an ice tray, leaving overnight to freeze. Add 4 tea ice cubes to a blender with ¼ cup of citrus or berry fruits, 100ml of water and 1 scoop of Naturally Slim LO Carb High Protein Vanilla powder and blend until smooth.

Jazz up your water
Brew 1-2 cups of your favourite tea and allow to cool, transfer into your water bottle and top up with water – this is great for people who don’t like water on its own. You can also add frozen tea ice cubes to a glass or jug of water at home.

Desserts and Treats

Superfruits Sorbet
Brew one Superfruits Tea bag in ¼ cup of boiling water, removing the tea bag after 3-5 minutes. Transfer the tea to the fridge to cool until you are ready to make your sorbet. Add 2 cups of mixed berries (we used blueberries, boysenberries and raspberries) to a food processor along with the cooled tea, 4 Tbsp of sugar (or you could try stevia granules) and a tiny pinch of salt. Process until completely smooth, then place in the freezer for 2 hours when it will be ready to eat. If you freeze the sorbet for longer, pull it out of the freezer 10-20 minutes before serving. Serves 4 – great for the family for a special treat.

Poached Fruit
Soak your favourite fruit in brewed tea to add guilt-free sweetness.
