Buying iced tea in large, wholesale quantities is often the cheapest option, long-term. However, when you go this route, you may sometimes end up with more iced tea than you need. You may not be in the mood to drink more of it on its own. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to get creative with extra, wholesale iced tea. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Infuse it with fruit
If you have just plain iced tea, you can take it to the next level by infusing some of it with fruit. Simply take about four cups of iced tea, pour it into a pitcher, and add about a cup of the fruit of your choice. Sliced peaches work well, as do raspberries. Or, if you are in a tropical mood, you can add a cup of sliced mango to your iced tea. Let the tea and fruit sit in your fridge for about a day. Then, strain out your fruit and serve the tea. The resulting beverage will be fruity and just sweet enough to satisfy your palate.
Warm it up
Iced tea is just hot tea that has been cooled down. While it's a bit unconventional to warm your iced tea up a bit, there's nothing stopping you from doing this. Simply fill a mug with your iced tea, stick it in the microwave for about a minute, and enjoy a wonderful mug of warm tea. This is a great option for the winter. You can even stir a little milk into your warm tea for an English vibe.
Make kombucha
Kombucha is basically fermented tea. You can make it yourself with just tea and a scobi, which is a bacterial source you can find at most health food stores. Most people would brew their own tea to make kombucha, but if you already have extra pre-made iced tea on hand, you can use that. Note that the kombucha will need to age for a couple of weeks before you can enjoy it. Kombucha is loaded with probiotics, which are good for your intestinal health. Drinking a cup per day may help calm down an irritable digestive tract, boost your immune system, and give you relief from conditions like acne.
If you buy wholesale iced tea and end up with a little too much, don't worry. There are lots of ways to use it up so you're not stuck drinking the same iced tea, the same way, again and again.
