Mediterranean Orchard iced tea recipe

With summer in full swing, I serve a lot of iced tea to my family and friends. Nothing is worse than going to the frig and seeing that my iced tea pitcher is almost empty again. That’s why I was thrilled to be selected to receive a complimentary box of TAZO tea blends, #NewWayToTea via Smiley 360 to try and share my thoughts with you.

Summer sipping iced tea on the front porch

Iced tea lovers rejoice! There’s a simple way to get flavorful iced tea quickly. I was drawn to TAZO iced citrus bliss herbal tea bags on my recent shopping trip. This tea is described as an herbal infusion with beckoning notes of citrus, passion fruit & hibiscus.

Doesn’t that sound delicious?

Making this beautifully fragrant herbal iced tea couldn’t be easier! Just boil 32 ounces of water to a boil. Pour boiling water over the filter bag in a 64 oz. pitcher, let steep for 5 minutes, and then pour another 32 ounces of cold water in. Serve chilled and iced. I add a half cup of sugar, but next pitcher, I think I can get away with just a quarter cup sugar, this tea tastes so good!

If you like iced tea and lemonade together, this is your herbal tea! Just switch out the last 32 ounces of cold water with cold lemonade and enjoy!

There are several other new TAZO tea blends to try in either filter bags or concentrates:

Iced peachy green tea
Iced sangria black tea
Iced passion tea

I will be purchasing the iced sangria black tea concentrate next using my dollar off coupon so I can make the Mediterranean Orchard tea! Use this link to get your $1.50 off coupon and to learn more about their teas.

Recipe: Mediterranean Orchard Tea:

3 ounces TAZO, iced sangria black tea concentrate
3 ounces peach nectar or pea juice
1 ½ ounces lemonade
Frozen fruit like peaches, strawberries, blackberries
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and enjoy!

I love iced coffee or iced tea in the summer--I think I may try the Iced peachy green tea as I am a BOG fan of the flavor of peach!!

Oh my hubbie would be in 'tea heaven' with this, he's really into his fruity herbal teas and we're trying out all sorts of blends. Iced tea is definitely on the cards now the weather is warming up.
