Mint Tea
Mint just might be the physical manifestation of the word refreshing. When you take a sip of mint tea you can’t resist the urge to say, “Ah.” You can purchase a mint medley of peppermint and spear mint tea, or brew a cup straight from the source. If you grow fresh mint at home in your garden, just grab a few mint leaves and steep them in hot water for three to five minutes. Then, add a little lemon and honey, and sip at your leisure.
Lemongrass Ginger Iced Tea
Another invigorating beverage to try is this lemongrass ginger iced tea. It starts with an energizing brew of black tea. Then, the addition of lemongrass and ginger really spices things up. Since black teas is naturally caffeinated this beverage would be a great to enjoy in the morning for brunch.
Masala Chai Tea
Masala Chai Tea is a great alternative to your after dinner coffee. Masala Chai means mixed spice tea and is exactly what this Indian-inspired beverage is. A combination of black tea, milk and spices. Specifically, cloves, ginger, peppercorn, and cardamom.
Hong Kong Style Milk Tea
Similar to masala chai, Hong Kong milk tea is a combination of milk and black tea. The difference is that Hong Kong milk tea uses condensed milk and doesn’t include the mixed spices found in masala chai. The result is a sweet, silky smooth beverage.
