Iced tea in summer: the perfect drink to hydrate and take care of yourself
Why choose iced tea in summer?
Summer brings with it the need to stay hydrated and cool, and iced tea has become the perfect healthy alternative to sugary soft drinks. Do you know why it is so beneficial?
Effectively moisturizes without adding refined sugars
Provides essential minerals such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
Low energy value compared to commercial soft drinks
Rich in antioxidants that protect our cells
Whether you prepare it yourself or order it at a restaurant, our advice is to prepare it with hot water to extract all the beneficial components. Once the infusion time is up, then yes, add as many ice cubes as you like.
Hot water for cold tea in summer?
When we use hot water, the dried leaves become fully hydrated and the high temperature causes all the active components to pass into the water. If we prepare it directly with cold water, although the leaves become hydrated, not all of their beneficial properties will be extracted.
