Cold brewing tea in summer is one of the best ways to enjoy tea all day long. From stronger black teas to fresh greens, or caffeine free rooibos, there’s a perfect cold brew for everyone. And it takes no more than a minute of effort. You will have to let it steep, though. Steeping overnight will give the best flavour, but some teas may be ready in only 2-3 hours. Another plus? Cold-brewed tea has less caffeine than regular hot brewed tea.

And we don’t mean teddy bears only. Choose your favourite silicone mould and make tea jellies in any shape you want. You can serve them with ice cream or use them for decorating other summer desserts. Or, you can simply eat them.

An extra idea? Make a fruit tea ice cubes and add them to a glass of cold brewed pure green or black tea.
