Let&#8217;s talk about the cold infusion of teas, herbal teas, or rooibos.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t already know, you don&#8217;t have to infuse your stuff in hot water, at least not always. Specific herbal teas for medicinal purposes, yes, of course, but when it&#8217;s just a question of giving you a nice taste, you can completely do without it. I would add that this method is much better, especially for the tea and rooibos &#8211; the flavor is more authentic than a &#8220;chilled&#8221; tea, and there are fewer deposits. Try it, and you will see it for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But then, how do we do it?&#8221; Nothing more basic: You put your tea bag or your loose tea in a container (with, or without a filter that you will filter afterward), you add fresh water, then place everything in the refrigerator for a minimum of six hours (the ideal being one night), and here you are with the most magical iced tea in the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;m going to offer you a lovely summer recipe that&#8217;s a little more original so that you can treat yourself and suffer a little less from the brewing heat wave. Here we go for one of the best-iced tea recipes in the world, and if you like it, don&#8217;t hesitate to ask me for more, because it&#8217;s like with infused waters; I make some every day, I have unlimited inspiration, and as soon as a recipe stands out of my brain, I put it down in my notebook for us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-imagelightbox=\"g\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10079\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chillbycaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/I4D141422-C802-4B54-A80B-C36E9BF337DB-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chillbycaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/I4D141422-C802-4B54-A80B-C36E9BF337DB-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.chillbycaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/I4D141422-C802-4B54-A80B-C36E9BF337DB-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chillbycaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/I4D141422-C802-4B54-A80B-C36E9BF337DB-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.chillbycaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/I4D141422-C802-4B54-A80B-C36E9BF337DB-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.chillbycaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/I4D141422-C802-4B54-A80B-C36E9BF337DB-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chillbycaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/I4D141422-C802-4B54-A80B-C36E9BF337DB-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.chillbycaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/I4D141422-C802-4B54-A80B-C36E9BF337DB-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.chillbycaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/I4D141422-C802-4B54-A80B-C36E9BF337DB-1440x1440.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.chillbycaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/I4D141422-C802-4B54-A80B-C36E9BF337DB-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.chillbycaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/I4D141422-C802-4B54-A80B-C36E9BF337DB-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.chillbycaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/I4D141422-C802-4B54-A80B-C36E9BF337DB-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.chillbycaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/I4D141422-C802-4B54-A80B-C36E9BF337DB-90x90.jpg 90w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6>Summer iced tea<\/h6>\n<p>3 tbsp. of the fruity tea of your choice, or 2 tea bags. For this recipe, my favorite is GreenMA&#8217;s Mango Cranberry Green and Black Tea Blend, which you can get <a href=\"https:\/\/epicerie-oh.com\/nos-produits\/theetcafe\/the\/the-noir-et-vert-mangue-canneberge-en-bocal\/\">here<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/lesbeautesbio.com\/441-recharge-the-bio-mango-cranberry-greenma.html\">there<\/a> if you wish.<\/p>\n<p>A large (very) ripe organic nectarine or peach<\/p>\n<p>2 pinches of vanilla powder<\/p>\n<p>A few mint leaves (here, I put 5)<\/p>\n<p>2 liters (or 68 fl oz) of filtered water<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> Optional <\/span>: a few ice cubes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6>Recipe<\/h6>\n<p>Wash the nectarine, cut it in half, then into very thin slices with a sharp knife so as not to make mush.
