Classic iced tea is great, and genuine sweet tea even more enjoyable, but are you looking for ways to create complex flavors when you brew iced tea? You’re in luck; you have plenty of options to add some jazz, including:

—The hot brewing method. Using a traditional gaiwan creates the perfect single serving of iced tea. These brewing cups are made from glass or porcelain, and come in beautiful designs.

—Sun tea preparation. Yes, there is such a thing as “sun tea”—tea that is brewed slowly in the sun to bring out flavor. All you need to do is place tea bags in a container with water and set it outside for a few hours.

—Infusions. One of the best parts about iced tea is all the flavor combinations you can make! Simply add lemons, berries, mint, or peaches as you brew your tea for a refreshing treat.

As the summer months grow near, iced tea is a healthy and invigorating way to hydrate. Whether you discover you love brewing your tea in the sun or you enjoy adding fruit, there’s an iced tea variation out there for everyone. Looking for some high quality tea to begin your adventures?
