Cold infused tea – which is simply tea infused in cold water rather than hot water – has become an increasingly popular drink to have during the hot weather.

Cold infused, herbal teas are made from fruits, plants, flowers, roots, spices and herbs and are simply dried to create a selection of tastes and different health properties.

Nowadays many tea companies are producing their own cold infuse teabags, which are easily infusible by dropping the infuser bag into a 500ml of water. Then wait a few minutes before consuming.

Like regular tea, cold infused tea has numerous health benefits depending on the blend of tea that you opt for.
