Now that our days are (finally) brightening up and becoming warmer there’s nothing I crave more than sitting in outside in the sunshine with something cold to drink. One thing that appealed to me was iced tea. I’ve always been a big fan of iced tea, but I’ve never got around to making it myself. So one sunny day I decided to take a chance and make myself a nice jug of the stuff. I always thought making iced tea would be pretty difficult but when Teapigs gave me a recipe to use with some of their amazing flavours of tea, it was actually pretty simple. And at the end of it you get something pretty yummy to drink ;).
First you pick your favourite Teapigs flavour – I chose Superfruit
Pop your tea bag into a mug or heatproof glass
Pour a small amount of hot water (just enough to cover the tea temple) for around 3-5 minutes
Take out the tea bag, top up with cold water, ice and fruit
Enjoy!
And that’s all there is too it! Superfruit was my favourite flavour for iced tea, but a close second was lemon and ginger ;). This is a great recipe that you can make several alterations too, you could even make a couple of cheeky cocktails out of it!

Hands up who likes chocolate? Actually who doesn’t?! I for one absolutely love chocolate, I can’t go more than a few days without having to get my fix. One of my favourite brands would have to be Lindt, with my all time favourite chocolate being their truffles. It seems like every Christmas and birthday I…
Happy St Patrick’s day! The one day a year it’s perfectly acceptable to wear green and drink Irish beer all day. Of course no celebration is complete without some themed gifts to get you through the day. And in true St Paddy’s day style, they’re all green and alcohol related ;). Green Twist Glass Beverage…
I live about 20 minutes away from the town of St Albans, a gorgeous city full of adorable coffee shops and amazing looking restaurants, all of which I want to explore more of. And last week I was invited along to experience one of St Albans newest Thai restaurants, Busaba, and was invited to their launch…
Let’s admit it, who doesn’t like cookies? I had a sudden craving for them the other night, so me and the boyfriend decided to start on some late night baking. They turned out great, and I was rather impressed with my baking skills! I had such a simple easy recipe for them so I thought…
Ah Christmas time, my favourite time of the year. And do you know what I love the most about Christmas? The food! Pigs in blankets, mince pies, gingerbread, you name it and I love it! Of course with all the amazing Christmas food available I always end up eating far too much, and find myself…
