An iced tea latte’s rich, creamy flavour combined with the icy coolness is a great pick-me-up in hot weather;  it's like DESSERT in a glass!

The advantage of making your own from scratch is that they can taste really decadent, but you control the calories, type of sweetener & milk. Be amazed at how delicious a “good for you” iced tea lattes can taste, & they’re really economical to make too. High quality teas have a natural sweetness so you usually don't need to use extra sweeteners or sugars. 

One of the reasons we sometimes crave sugar & fat is because it’s a response to stress. Teas that have a fruity, chocolate, mint or spicy taste can be a great alternative & since many of these teas also have naturally stress-relieving qualities, they can counteract the reason you’re craving a treat in the first place, while giving your taste buds something satisfying to enjoy. 

HOW TO MAKE AN ICED TEA LATTE

Brew tea of your choice, double strength - steep as directed. When the tea has finished steeping, strain & combine with equal parts non-dairy milk over ice. Easy to make in a to-go tumbler, for a healthy summer treat on-the-go! 

tip: water will extract the flavour from tea leaves more effectively than milk, so it is best to steep the tea in water as opposed to steeping tea in milk. 

Great tea latte combinations include: Chocolate Hug, Westcoast Peppermint, ROSE PETAL, Beau-TEA-ful, Herbal Chai, Berry Victoria or London Fog tea
