This week is set to be a scorcher.
So it’s time to load up on the ice, BBQ goodies and suncream.
Of course, it goes without saying that it’s important to stay hydrated when hot weather hits.
Ice tea is a great choice to sip in the sunshine and tea brand Tetley has shared a recipe for switching up your traditional choice.
They’ve come up with a super green version, reminiscent of a non-alcoholic mojito.
In other words, it’s delightfully minty, with hints of lime and ginger.
And you only need a handful of ingredients to make the refreshing drink at home.
It’s also a great one if you’re hosting people – as it can be scaled up and popped in pitchers on a garden table.
You can find the simple recipe below.
