How To Enjoy Tea: 10 Simple Ways

There are so many different ways to drink tea. If you enjoy tea and need to use up some of that stash before you buy more, then here are some exciting ways to drink it. 

1: Traditional

A traditional cup of hot tea is a classic beverage. Whether you need to wake up or wind down, tea is always here for your needs. 

2: Iced Tea

This is one of the most popular easy to drink tea during the summer. You can make iced tea in a very similar process to traditional tea. Double the amount of loose leaf tea and let it steep a few minutes longer than normal. Once your tea is brewed and steeped, pour it into a glass with ice. As the ice melts it makes your tea less strong, that is why you need to double the amount of leaf in your recipe. 

3: Tea Lattes

Lattes aren’t just for coffee snobs. This is the best way to drink tea if you enjoy tea on the stronger side. Brew a strong cup of tea and assemble with frothed milk on top.  

4: Cocktails

Want to know how to enjoy tea in a more sophisticated way? Consider turning one of your favorite iced teas into a nighttime cocktail. We find this the most fun way to drink tea.

5: Popsicles

Want to know how to drink tea during a heatwave? Make your own popsicles! This is even a fun way to get your kids to drink tea…or eat tea should I say? Fill up some popsicle makers with your favorite tea (fruity teas are usually the best choice for these treats) and add a few fruit slices for extra fun. Let them freeze overnight and you’ll have a healthier version of one of the best summertime snacks. 

6: Potpourri 

Have you ever bought a tea that sounded delicious only to try it and think “yuck”? There’s another way to enjoy tea you don’t like without having to drink it. Most teas are made from dried herbs and flowers. These smell fantastic and are kinda pretty too. Instead of throwing tea you don’t enjoy in the trash, pour it in a small dish to use as potpourri. 

7: Cook With Tea

If you’re getting bored with your daily menu and looking for something new to cook, here is another way to enjoy tea. Get creative and cook with it. There are so many exciting flavors for you to experiment with. Next time you buy a box of cake mix, substitute the water for tea.

8: Bath

Drink tea to stay healthy, bath in tea to stay pretty. Tea is very good for your skin too. If you check the ingredients to some of your beauty products you will find some of the same ingredients you find in tea. If you want to give your feet a treat, soak them in a bowl of peppermint tea. 

9: Facial

Green tea is loaded with antioxidants and vitamins that help clear up skin and also work as an all-natural anti-aging treatment. Tea really is the drink for beautiful people. 

10: Tea Party

If you really have too much tea then put an adult spin on a childhood favorite. Many little girls invite their friends over to have tea parties. They never drink tea, just juice in pretty teacups. Now it’s time for the grown ups to enjoy tea, invite your friends over for a party.
