The All-American Iced Tea

Who doesn’t love a Southern-style sweet tea? Gaviña Traditional Black Tea is the best option for this deliciously refreshing treat, made with an exclusive blend of high-grown premium tea leaves rich in flavor and color.

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz. of Gaviña Traditional Black Iced Tea
  • Sweetener of choice
  • Fresh Sprig of Mint or Citrus Slice

Directions:

  1. Fill a 16 oz. cup with ice
  2. Pour iced tea
  3. Add sweetener and stir
  4. Add garnish

Sweetener tips: Syrup sweeteners are the best option for iced teas because granular sugar will sink to the bottom. If you don’t want a specific taste, add ½ oz. of liquid cane sugar. If you prefer a sweet, fruit taste, flavored Torani syrups like peach or raspberry will give your iced tea the flavorful kick it needs.


Tropical Twist: Strawberry-Hibiscus Iced Tea

Gaviña’s Organic Hibiscus tea is a naturally caffeine-free blend of organic hibiscus flowers and organic lemon myrtle, with a vibrant ruby red color and a sweet, tart citrus flavor. The tea alone tastes like a tropical vacation, but this recipe complements those strawberry notes!

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz. of Gaviña Organic Hibiscus Iced Tea *double brew strength
  • 1 oz. of Torani Puremade Strawberry Syrup

Directions:

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add all of the ingredients.
  2. Shake well and pour into a 16 oz. cup.

Other Tropical Option: If you’re not a huge fan of strawberries, you can add 1 oz. of Torani Guava Syrup and garnish with fresh fruit slices instead! It still has the paradise feel and is still delicious.

*Brew ½ gallon of Hibiscus Tea (use half a bag-1 ½ oz.) over half a gallon of ice for your double-brew strength tea.


Fruity Fusion: Mango Green Iced Tea Paradise

Gaviña’s Mango Green Iced Tea – a perfect blend of green tea and tropical mango flavor – is ideal for this fruity, island drink escape. The sweet, earthy taste of green tea paired with mangoes sounds like a drink everyone needs to try – especially in the summer.

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz. of Gaviña Mango Green Iced Tea
  • 2 oz. of Torani Lemonade Real Fruit Smoothie Mix
  • ¼ oz. Fresh lime juice
  • Lime wedge

Directions:

  1. Add ice, lemonade mix, and lime juice into a shaker
  2. Shake all ingredients
  3. Pour into a 16 oz. cup filled with ice
  4. Garnish with a lime wedge

Other Options: If you want more mango taste, add mango syrup. Garnish this with a slice of mango instead of the lime.
