Following on from the Welsh Brew Lemon Iced Tea Recipe, why not try one of these chilled tea cocktail recipes, perfect for a summer gathering or BBQ party! With a wide variety of fruity and spicy tea blends, you can use infused tea to create any of your favourite cocktails. Here we have chosen three of our favourite recipes to get you started.

Creating the Perfect Tea Cocktails

When making cocktails, every ingredient plays an important role, and the tea is no exception. Using a high-quality loose leaf tea or herbal infusion creates a much cleaner, richer flavour than cheaper alternatives, making all the difference in the finished drink.

For these recipes, choose premium teas with bold, natural flavours. Whether you prefer fruity infusions, zesty herbal blends or refreshing green tea, each brings its own unique character to your cocktail. Before you begin, brew your tea in advance and allow it to cool completely. Chilling it in the fridge for an hour or two will give you the best results.
