Nothing better than a refreshing glass of homebrewed iced tea after a hard and hot day at work. Never made your own iced tea? It is super easy and so much better than the sugary crap you find in grocery stores.

Though you can make your own variation and experiment with the flavors you love, the one I make usually contains Cambodian jasmine tea, lime, lemongrass, ginger, and turmeric.

Healing, immune boosting and yum.

Though you can use fresh lemongrass for this too, we know an amazing woman here who organically grows her herbs and spices to make dried tea blends and we absolutely love them and her idea. It is one of the many little organic projects here in Cambodia we like to support.

HOMEMADE ICED TEA 🍹🍹🍹

2-3 tbsp dried Cambodian jasmine green tea

DIRECTIONS


  1. Make a small strong pot of tea (or one to two cups). You can find everything we used to steep the tea in the ingredients list. Allow steeping for 10 minutes.
  2. In a big jar, add cooled water and ice cubes. Mix with the small pot steeped strong tea and pour in glasses or store in the fridge.
  3. I don't like icy cold drinks, but you can put extra ice in your glass too!

Fresh way to start the day, thanks for sharing :)

You are welcome; Thanks for stopping by.

Pure ayurveda.

Healing and yum. Best combination. One day I should take up an Ayurveda course. I use a lot of their methods but know too little about it. Good stuff. Have a lovely day.

I belong from India where ayurveda is still alive and there are various medical colleges and institutions. Famous is Baba Ramdev.

Thanks for the info. A friend of mine is moving to the North of India in one month and I am def going to visit him and hopefully find some time for an Ayurvedic course.

Love, love tea! I hadn't thought about adding goji berries to my tea, what a wonderful idea Amy. This looks luscious. Thanks for sharing her info, I'll have to look her up!

Her product is only to be found in Cambodia I think. I'll ask her next time. Such a wonderful family business. Goji berries rock. Have a great day my dear friend.
