How Can a Cup of Tea Take Care of Your Health Besides Being Refreshing?

Lemon Black tea

Lemon Black tea

A cup of piping hot water with a few tea leaves in it, some sugar and a few drops of milk – doesn’t it sound refreshing like anything else in the world? And now if you replace a cup of piping hot water with a cup of iced water and remove milk (which makes the perfect recipe for iced tea), it sounds equally refreshing, right?

That’s the best part of tea. Whether served hot or cold, it never fails to refresh you with its wonderful soothing aroma, and as we all know, it’s not a matter of today rather a long history, spreading across multiple cultures over the span of thousands of years. And now this culture has become our obsession and more so, it has become a luxury experience with innovative blending and essence that gives a kickass boost to our body and mind.

Having said that, what reminds me is the array of flavoured tea available in the market, which I find much more refreshing and I am sure so you will.

Black lemon tea

Being a tea enthusiast, you can start your day with a cup of black lemon tea. It has an amazing aroma blended with the right amount of tangy flavour that makes my morning bright and healthy. Are you still stuck to the word healthy? Wait I will come to that. Black tea is a calorie free beverage that contains theaflavin antioxidants and thereby, helps to lower the risk of stroke and heart disease.  Lemon, on the other hand, being a source of antioxidant, increases the staying power of antioxidants in black tea. Hence, the blend of two offers enormous health benefits to the drinkers.

P.S. Drink black lemon tea without whipped cream and sugar to enjoy its original tangy taste and more health benefits.

Honey lemon tea

The tangy flavour of lemon and sweet taste of honey adds syrupy taste to the tea which is to die for.  Owing to antibacterial and natural antioxidant properties, it re-energizes your body and mind and also helps you to combat acute diseases. In fact, honey lemon tea is known for reducing the risk of skin cancer. The combination of both the ingredients (honey and lemon) acts as a body cleanser and removes toxins from the body and thereby, improves digestive system and cures skin disorders.

Green mint tea

Green mint tea is another great combination of green tea and mint leaves. This unique flavour of tea delivers an energizing blend of spearmint and peppermint leaves, balance with the natural flavour of green tea. Containing the right amount of dietary fiber, vitamin and mineral, a daily cup of green tea can boost your immunity and provide you with a lot of anti-oxidants.

So, now is the time to enjoy a cup of pipping hot flavoured tea and refresh your mind and body. Cheers!

While it’s a sheer delight all on its own, you can also use it to create drinks and mocktails that make every occasion memorable. We’re sharing with you three such recipes. Read on!

Strawberry Cream Iced Tea

This drink gets prepared in a few minutes if you have pre-arranged all the ingredients at your workstation. Here’s what you’ll need to prepare 4 servings of this drink:

  • 4 bags of Te-A-Me Strawberry Cream Infusion
  • 2 bags of Te-A-Me lemon tea
  • 4 cups of water
  • Sugar, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • Fresh mint leaves and frozen strawberries for garnishing (optional)

Take 4 cups of water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Place the infusion as well as tea bags in a jar. After the water boils, turn off the flame and pour it into the jar. Let the bags steep in the hot water for around 5-6 minutes. Let the mixture cool off completely. Store in the fridge until chilled.

Now your strawberry cream iced tea is ready to be served. Pour into individual glasses over ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves and frozen strawberries if you want.

Strawberry Cream Margarita

This non-alcoholic version of popular margarita is full of fabulous flavors. Since you’ll not be using any alcohol in this drink, you can serve this to both, kids and adults — which makes the drink perfect for all gatherings!

Before you begin the recipe, it’s a great idea to prep the glass in which you’ll serve the drink. For this, you need to rub some lemon juice onto the rim of a cocktail glass. Roll the glass rim in coarse sugar to evenly coat it and keep inside your fridge until needed.

Prepare four cups of Te-A-Me Strawberry Cream Infusion and set aside to cool.

Combine strawberries, orange juice, sparkling water, lime juice and ice into your blender and blend until smooth. Mix the blended mixture with the strawberry cream infusion.

Fill 1/3rd of a margarita glass with crushed ice and pour the prepared concoction. Garnish with lemon wheel and serve chilled.

  • 3 tablespoons of strawberry syrup
  • 2-3 strawberries, thinly sliced (plus extra for garnish)
  • Sugar to taste
  • Chilled club soda
  • Crushed ice
  • Mint leaves for garnish

Take 4 cups of water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Pour into a jar and place the infusion bags and strawberry slices in it to steep. Let the mix steep for around 5-6 minutes. Remove infusion bags and set aside to cool off completely. Stir in the strawberry syrup and sugar. Store the infusion mix in the fridge until chilled.
