Iced tea tips & tricks
Garnishing
We love to decorate our iced teas with plenty of fresh fruit; everything from lemon and orange to a handful of blueberries or mango slivers. Some fruity brews sing with a sprig of fresh mint, while others will rattle your tastebuds with a cinnamon quill or two.
Strength
If you like your iced tea super strong, just add a few extra teaspoons of tea.
