Make a Creamy Oat Milk Latte
Turn your favorite tea into a delicious (and healthy!) indulgence by turning your tea into a creamy oat milk latte. Simply heat up your favorite tea, froth up some oat milk, and pour it over your tea for a richly satisfying treat. Oat milk adds a smooth texture and subtle sweetness without the need for sugar, making it the perfect choice for anyone looking to cut back on added sugars.

Infuse It With Fresh Fruit
Take your tea to a whole new level of deliciousness by infusing it with your favorite fresh fruits. Gently muddled juicy berries, tangy citrus, sweet pineapple, or crisp apple not only enhances the flavor of your tea, they also provide natural sweetness. Plus, fresh fruits add extra disease-fighting compounds and antioxidants, adding an extra healthy punch to your tea. Experiment with different fruit combinations to find your perfect match.

Make Sparkling Tea
For a refreshing twist (and a healthy soda alternative) try adding flavored sparkling water to your tea. The bubbles add fun and fizziness to your tea, and the natural flavors provide a burst of taste without any added sugar. Choose from a variety of flavors like citrus, melon, or mixed berries, to create your own unique tea concoction.

Add Some Warming Spices
Spice up your tea with aromatic spices like cinnamon, nutmeg or cardamom. These fragrant spices not only add a depth of flavor, they also add a subtle sweet flavor that will complement your tea without overpowering it. Cinnamon is not only sweet, it also promotes blood sugar balance, and supports healthy cholesterol. A pinch of nutmeg or cloves in your night time tea can help you drift off more easily. Add a little cardamom to refresh your mind and soothe your tummy.
Tip: Add a pinch of cinnamon to Gut Balance tea for a warming and delicious gut-friendly morning brew
Use Fresh Herbs
Bring a touch of freshness to your tea with the addition of culinary herbs. Whether it’s mint, basil, rosemary, or thyme, herbs add a vibrant aroma and flavor to your tea, along with additional health benefits such as relief of bloating, and increasing mental alertness. Simply muddle (crush) a few leaves in your cup before pouring in your tea for a refreshing and herbaceous twist. Fresh herbs also add zing to your iced tea!

Mix Up A Cucumber, Mint, and Lemon Cooler
Transform your tea into a cooling and invigorating drink with cucumber, mint and lemon. In a tall glass, gently muddle a few slices of cucumber and lemon with some mint leaves to release their juices and fragrance. Add ice, then pour your favorite tea over the mixture for a revitalizing beverage that’s perfect for warm weather. Bonus: this yummy drink is also detoxifying, and the perfect addition to your summer weight loss regimen.
