Strawberrycha™ Basil Mocktail using a base of Jadetiger Strawberrycha™ tea sachets
Ready for warm days and hydrating drinks? Summer is slowly easing in this year and giving us the back and forth of cloudy colds and sunny bright days. A way to create or enhance a summery vibe, even during those lingering June glooms, is a Jadetiger Tea Mocktail! We shared our MangoMint Mocktail in a previous blog post and now we expand to 3 more recipes! To be enjoyed on your own or shared with some friends, our delicious refreshers are sure to be mouthfuls of Summer!
The first mocktail uses a Jadetiger Iced Tea Pillow – the Citrus Hibiscus Mocktail! Using one iced tea pillow yields 10 servings, perfect for when serving company or making an extra supply to stock up for the week! For our Citrus Hibiscus Mocktail, we use our Hibiscus Herbal Iced Tea Pillow. This herbal tea contains zero caffeine which means this mocktail can be enjoyed by any caffeine sensitive tea drinker or during those cooling Summer sunsets!
Citrus Hibiscus Ingredients:
1 Hibiscus Herbal Iced Tea Pillow
Fresh oranges or orange juice
Lime juice
Honey simple syrup (1 part honey dissolved in 1 part water)
Orange and lime slices for garnish
Ice
Tea pitcher
Mixing spoon
Measuring spoons
Your favorite Summer glassware!

Stir in 1 tbsp of lime juice and 2 tbsp of honey syrup
Garnish with an orange and lime slice, voila!
Up next we have a bolder flavor using one of our black teas: Strawberrycha™. This tea is for those who are primed for a little caffeine boost. Unlike the surplus yielding of an iced tea pillow, our next mocktail, Strawberry Basil, uses two tea sachets to make a perfect 8 ounce cup of refreshment!
