Notes[]
- ↑ Tea ice cubes are exactly what they sound like. Brew the tea you’ll be using in your beverage. You can brew it extra strong for more flavor, if you’d like. You can also add some honey or sugar if you prefer more sweetness in your drink. Strain the tea, allow it to cool to room temperature, and pour it into an ice cube tray. Freeze. Simple!
