Lacey: Hey there.
Lacey here with a Sweet Pea Chef.
And one of my favorite things about summer is sitting out on the back porch, watching
the kids play and enjoying a delicious iced tea.
So today, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite iced teas for the summer.
So let's get started.
First, we're gonna make a cleansing lemon basil iced tea that tastes and smells delicious.
So, add lemon slices, fresh basil leaves, and green tea bags to a one-quart mason jar
or pitcher.
Pour hot water into the mason jar and fill it up.
And then stir everything together.
Allow this to steep for 15 minutes.
Place into the fridge to completely chill for three to four hours for the flavors to
fully release.
Next, we're gonna make a coconut lime iced tea that's naturally sweet and delicious.
Start by adding black tea bags and sliced lime to a one-quart mason jar or pitcher.
Pour in heated coconut water into the mason jar.
Then we're gonna stir it all together.
Allow this to steep for 15 minutes.
Then place into the fridge to completely chill for three to four hours for the flavors to
all release.
One of my favorite flavors for iced tea is peach iced tea and I've kicked it up a little
bit with some fresh ginger with this peach ginger iced tea.
To make this, add the fresh peach slices and green tea bags to a one-quart mason jar or
pitcher.
We're gonna skewer the sliced ginger coins on a toothpick, if desired, to make them easier
to remove later.
And then just drop them on into the jar.
Pour hot water into the mason jar and stir together and allow this to steep for 15 minutes.
Then place into the fridge to completely chill for three to four hours for the flavors to
release
finally, we're gonna make a blackberry mint iced tea that is sweet and refreshing.
To make this tea, add fresh blackberries, fresh mint leaves, and green tea bags to a
one-quart mason jar or pitcher.
Pour in the hot water into the mason jar and we're going to stir together.
And allow this to steep for 15 minutes.
Then place into the fridge to completely chill for three to four hours for the flavors to
release.
For any of these iced teas, you can sweeten them with some raw honey or pure maple syrup
when you're ready to enjoy them.
All right.
So now you have four easy and delicious and refreshing iced teas to enjoy this summer
that will keep you hydrated on those hot summer days.
