celebrate spring with iced tea
With spring around the corner (official start date-march 20th), I can’t stop thinking about brewing pitchers of my favorite iced teas to quench warm weather’s thirst for something sweet and chilly.
Welcome delicate blossoms by brewing a pitcher of floral tea, like Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls Scented Green Tea. But don’t wait to enjoy the tea until the first sip. Instead, soak in the whole brewing process as the hand-rolled leaves unfurl from their pearl shape to release a smooth yet sweet jasmine aroma. If you’re looking to transform this floral treat into a sweet indulgence, then add some honey (or agave) while hot, then let the tea cool to room temperature before adding ice.
If you’re seeking a visual iced tea experience, why not brew a fruity blend like, Imperial Acai Blueberry White Tea. Pour it over ice in a clear pitcher and enjoy the golden color. Turn the tea eye candy up a notch by adding blueberry ice cubes. Just place a fresh blueberry in each ice tray slot, add water and freeze. Drop these blueberry beauties into the pitcher, and enjoy the visual delight while you sip on this fruity tea with subtle hints of white grape, hibiscus flower and rare rosehips.
So brew something special to celebrate spring and get ready to chill with a tall glass. What’s your favorite iced tea?
