How to Brew the Perfect Iced Tea

1. Choose the Right Tea

Penningtons offers a range of loose-leaf teas ideal for icing. Some favorites include:

• Apple & Lemon Tisane – A refreshing blend of sweet Kentish apples and juicy citrus lemons, perfect for a fruity iced tea.
• Berry Burst Tisane – A mix of elderberries, redcurrants, rosehips, hibiscus blossoms, and apple, producing a berry-bursting claret red brew, ideal served over ice in summer.
• Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea – A classic black tea flavored with oil of bergamot, offering a refreshing citrus flavor that pairs well with lemon over ice.

2. Cold Brew vs. Hot Brew

• Cold Brew: Steep tea in cold water for 6–12 hours in the fridge. Produces a smoother, less bitter flavor.
• Hot Brew: Brew tea double-strength, then pour over ice.

3. Pro Tip: Add Natural Sweeteners

Enhance flavor with a splash of honey, agave, or fresh fruit. Try lemon slices, mint leaves, or berries for a visual and flavorful upgrade.

Iced Coffee: The Penningtons Way

1. Pick Your Coffee

Go for Brazil Cerrado Espresso Roast or Espresso Blend for a rich, full-bodied iced coffee.

2. Cold Brew Basics

• Coarsely grind your Penningtons coffee beans.
• Mix 1 cup grounds with 4 cups cold filtered water.
• Steep 12–18 hours in the fridge.
• Strain and serve over ice.

3. Make It a Treat

Add milk, oat milk, or a touch of vanilla syrup for a café-style delight. Top with whipped cream for indulgence.

Serve, Sip, Repeat: Tips for Presentation

• Use clear glass tumblers to show off your brew.
• Add reusable metal or glass straws.
• Garnish with fresh herbs or fruit slices.
• Store in a mason jar or carafe in the fridge for easy access.
