Fruit teas are one of my favourite things to drink when I feel like something sweet, and they’re especially delicious served cold on a hot day. Fruit teas are hydrating, refreshing and good for you too!
Red Seal recently launched a new range of fruit teas, and I have to say they are really delicious. The teas are sugar free, gluten free, contain no caffeine and are calorie free. The good thing is they can be brewed both hot and cold, so you can make a refreshing iced tea without having to boil and cool it. Iced tea in an instant, now that’s a good thing!
For something even more delicious, I’ve created an iced tea slushy with one of my favourite Red Seal tea flavours, Exotic Fruits. This flavour is a delicious blend of pineapple and melon with hints of passionfruit. I’ve blended it with some fresh tropical fruits for a low sugar summer treat.
Ingredients for Tropical Iced Tea Slushie:
1 mango
3 slices of pineapple
juice from 1 lime
juice from half a small orange
4 Red Seal Exotic Fruits tea bags
1 cup of sparkling water/soda water
Method:
Cut up the mango into chunks and place the mango flesh in a freezer safe bowl. Add the sliced pineapple. Place in the freezer for 4-5 hours, or overnight.
When you’re ready for your slushy, take the frozen fruit from the freezer. Set aside. Pour the sparkling water into a large glass and add the teabags. Leave to sit for 5 minutes, then dispose of the tea bags.
Place the frozen fruit, tea as well as the juice from the lime and orange in the blender and pulse until the fruit is blended up and it is well mixed. Serve with wedges of lime, orange and pineapple and fresh mint.
This makes two drinks.
Enjoy!
