Kusmi teas are perfectly suited for long, chilly winter evenings – that’s a universally acknowledged fact. But their magic also works wonders in the scorching summer heat. A colourful drink made with iced Kusmi tea can truly sweep you off your feet!
Iced tea in three steps
Kusmi certainly knows how to beat the summer heat. The foundation of their cocktails is iced tea – the colder, the better! Is making iced tea a challenge? Kusmi proves that nothing could be simpler. Traditional iced tea can be prepared in three quick steps.
1. Pour boiling water over your favourite Kusmi tea. It’s best to use a special iced tea jug for this.
2. For the next 7 minutes, you’ll need to exercise a bit of patience – the infusion needs time to develop its aroma!
3. Remove the tea bag or infuser and set the finished tea aside to cool. Once cooled, add a generous helping of ice. Ideally, straight from a fancy ice cube tray.
Voilà! Your iced tea is ready to come to the rescue in the hottest weather.
