When the temperature rises its time to slow things down a gear and take life easier! Remembering to stay hydrated when the sun’s out is important to maintain health, but water can become a little dull after a while.
So why not try a delicious and refreshing iced tea instead. One tip is to simply infuse your loose tea leaves overnight in cold water. We tend to use a tiny bit more tea than usual. So, for example, if I usually use 2.5 g per 500ml I would up this to 3 g. Pop the leaves in cold water and simply leave the mix in the fridge overnight. When you wake up in the morning you’ll have deliciously sweet and refreshing iced tea. Easy peasy!
Why not play around with interesting alcoholic and non-alcoholic alternatives to Pimms this summer using the iced tea?
