Iced Tea with Fruits

Hello Summers!!! Chilled beverages are always satisfying in the summer heat, and when made with fresh fruits and herbs, it’s overwhelmingly delicious. These are super easy to prepare and you can make your own combination as you like. You can even prepare in bulk and refrigerate it, then relish it when desired. I have used honey in this recipe, you can try it with sugar or simply skip the sweetener if you prefer. You can also go for green tea instead for regular tea.

The combinations you can try:

1. Peach, Mint and Honey
2. Strawberry, Basil and Honey
3. Blueberry, Mint and Honey
4. Lemon Juice, Mint and Honey 
5. Orange, Thyme and Honey

Also try: Strawberry Kiwi Lemonade, Mango Milkshake, Blueberry Lemonade or Chocolate Banana Smoothie.
