Beyond Iced Tea: Creative Cold Brew Recipes to Sip All Day

As the sun soars and warm days linger, there’s no better time to rethink your refreshment ritual. For discerning tea lovers, the perfect answer isn’t just a cold beverage; it’s a beautifully steeped cold brew that captures both flavour and finesse.

Unlike traditional iced tea, cold brew is created through a slow, gentle infusion in cold or room temperature water. This process coaxes out delicate notes while reducing bitterness, resulting in a smoother, more refined taste. Basilur's Cold Brew Collection is crafted precisely for this purpose. Each tea bag is brimming with all-natural ingredients and vibrant fruit profiles, designed to steep effortlessly without boiling.

Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or just discovering the world of cold brews, here are four exquisite recipes to inspire your summer sipping. Each one is a delicious pause in your day.
