Looking for refreshing summer drink ideas the entire family can enjoy? Something fruity, cold and delicious you can enjoy while sitting in the garden or by the pool? These exotic iced tea recipes will tick all those boxes.

If you do want to booze these up, consider adding your favourite alcoholic spirits like gin or vodka or a little sparkling wine to make it extra festive.

Ingredients:

8 and ¼ cups boiling water

6 Earl Grey tea bags

1 teaspoon dried lavender flowers

¼ cup sugar

Mango Green Iced Tea

Ingredients:

4 green tea bags

4 cups boiling water

Mint

Mango slices

2 cups mango nectar (recipe below if you don’t want to buy mango concentrate or nectar)

For the mango nectar:

2 ripe mangos

Water as desired

Method:

For the mango nectar:

Collect the mango flesh from your fresh mangos. One of the easiest ways is to cut it in half and then use a glass to scoop the flesh out of the skin. Put the flesh into a blender and blend, adding water to get the consistency you like.

For the iced tea:

Steep the tea bags in the boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool and then mix with the mango nectar. Chill in the fridge until ready and then pour into glasses with ice, mango slices and mint for garnish.

Granadilla chamomile iced tea

4 cups boiling water

4 bags of chamomile tea

120 g dried pineapple slices

50 g dried mangoes

2 sticks lemongrass

Strain the tea. Crush the bottoms of the lemongrass and add it to the tea along with the granadilla pulp. Stir and pour over ice to serve.
