Iced Tea Cubes for Added Flavor
Teas also make great ice cubes. Added as a clever twist to iced tea, sparkling water, lemonade, a cocktail, or as an icy refreshing freezer pop, they prevent melting cubes from diluting the beverage. To make, just brew tea with twice the usual number of tea bags, then pour the steeped tea into ice cube trays to freeze. Try the following combinations or use them as jumping-off points for your own concoctions made with your own favorites.
