A hot cup of tea or coffee keeps you warm on cold days, but in the summer it’s a whole different story. What if we told you that you could make your own favourite beverage to keep you cool and refreshed even on the hottest summer days? Here are Pay Chen’s tips and ideas for making delicious cold drinks at home without all the fuss!
ICED TEA
This is super easy to make, cheaper than buying in the store, plus you are able to control the sugar content by adding only natural fruits and flavours!
Pay’s tips:
Brew your tea stronger than you would drink it hot. Use more tea instead of letting it brew longer (letting it brew longer can make it bitter).
Add sugar to the tea when it’s hot so that it dissolves – it will be grainy if you try to add sugar when the tea is cold. Or make a simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar) to sweeten your cold tea.
Use your favourite loose leaf tea or tea bags and enjoy!
TEA SMOOTHIE Smoothies are a quick go-to breakfast or refreshing drink that are great for kids, too!
Pay’s tips:
Mix it up by using your favourite green tea or fruity tea.
Use seasonal fresh fruits, or frozen berries for a quick, frothy drink.
COLD COFFEE No need to spend $5 on your favourite iced coffee! Save yourself the dough by simply making your own! There are tons of ways to mix it up just the way you like.
Pay’s tips:
Pour coffee into ice cubes and add that to milk or iced coffee for added flavour.
Remember to keep your coffee strong because ice will water it down (or use coffee ice cubes!).
