Iced & Cold Brewing
- Make as for hot, but add extra tea - a rule of thumb is to double the amount of tea leaves used per cup. When the tea has cooled a little, pour over ice. It is important to make it a little stronger as the ice will water it down.
- Alternatively, you can cold brew the tea by placing the tea leaves in a jug and adding cold water. Leave to infuse for a few hours (or overnight in the fridge) strain and enjoy.
Cold brewing will give a smoother taste. Garnish and sweeten to taste.

Calming Verified Purchase
Yet another new tea. My husband had a cold and I gave him some of this and he said his throat definitely felt better.
The taste is as good as the smell. Another one for my top 10.

Very tasty! Verified Purchase
This tea has a really nice flavour - the eucalyptus isn't overpowering, and the honey gives it a nice mellow flavour. I've been getting two infusions out of one spoonful of tea, so it should last me a while! Recommended if you want a soothing non-caffeinated tea. :)

Packed with Flavour!
This tea will definitely be put to good use this year. It is packed with flavour and really strong. I usually use a small 2 cup tea pot but this tea is quite strong and so I prefer using an incup infiser for it.
