Beat the heat with Iced Tea!
Did you know that June is National Iced Tea Month? Many have asked, “What kind of Iced Teas does Optimum Zeal have?” Well, many of our teas can be made as Iced Tea. It is as easy as pouring it over ice. 
Brew your tea as you normally would but be sure to make it a little stronger to account for the ice diluting it. But personally, my favorite way of making Iced Tea is with the cold brew method: Fill your Tea mesh infuser with one teaspoon of your favorite flavored tea for every 8 ounces of spring water and place it in a pitcher in your refrigerator overnight. Serve with or without ice depending on your preference. This makes a perfect cup of Iced Tea every time! I think that it works best with a strong black tea base or Oolong tea base. The flavored teas make it more interesting for a cold drink. If you like your tea sweet, have a little homemade simple syrup ready on the side. Anyone who can boil a pot of water can make simple syrup. Take equal amounts of water and white granulated sugar in a small pot and boil it to your preferred reduced thickness. Pour in a container with a lid after cooling and place in your refrigerator for use when needed.
Hope you make yourself some good Iced Tea with our many flavored teas and enjoy the wonderful warm weather! My personal favorites are:
I am sure you will find your favorite in the choices we have.
Now go enjoy life one sip at a time!
