1. Apple Iced Tea
Iced teas come in all assortments, such as lemon ice tea, peach ice tea, black ice tea and more! Apple-flavoured iced tea can add the ice in your drink with a hit of flavour that gives daylong hydration!
Ingredients:
- 9 ounces black tea brewed and chilled
- 3 ounces Martinelli’s 100% Pure Apple Juice. Use Nestle or whatever is conveniently available, (or it could be any Pure Juice)
- Ice
- Apple slices
- Lemon slices for garnish
- Mint sprig for garnish
Instructions:
The secret to this drink is VERY simple: add tea, juice, ice, and apple slices to a tall glass and stir to blend. Garnish with lemon slices and mint sprigs if desired. Et voila, enjoy a refreshing break!
Caution: Tea can be dehydrating so you might want to use a lighter version or keep this one for iftar!
2. Apple Pie Drink
Hands down, folks: here’s another cool summery drink for you! On New Year’s we shared a recipe of the Apple Dutch Pie, now we give you the Drink! Oh, and if you’re someone who does not like cold drinks, you can try the warm alternate of this drink.
