Are you enjoying the sunshine or dodging the thunder clouds, either way I guess you could say this is a typical British summer. But with days of extreme heat it is ideal to find a shady spot and enjoy a glass of tea. Yes you read it right, we British as renown for our tea drinking no matter how hot the day is, but this time let us try something different. Iced Tea or a cooling Tea Lolly, both are easily made at home and healthy.

| Cooling Ice Tea and Ice Lolly made with Yogi Tea |
Inspiration for this arrived in a wonderful Summer Hamper from Yogi Tea. So with the temperature gauge on the rise, I put the kettle on! Well you do need to brew tea first to let it cool down.
Licorice Mint Cooler Iced Tea / Ice Lolly
250ml Licorice Mint Yogi Tea
60ml apple juice
1ml lemon juice
fresh mint
Brew the tea with boiling water for 7 minutes, allow it to cool before chilling in the fridge. Add the lemon and apple juice. Serve with ice and a sprint of fresh mint.
Alternatively pour the Licorice Mint Cooler drink into ice lolly moulds.
What a healthy and refreshing alternative to a sweet syrupy ice lolly.
