As it’s finally a bit sunny in the UK I figured now would be a good time to have a play in the kitchen and come up with some new iced tea recipes.
Last summer I made a Strawberry Lemonade Iced Tea recipe that was really popular, everyone liked the fizzy element of the lemonade. I decided I’d do another fizzy iced tea recipe but switch the lemonade out for cream soda, which had me reminiscing of childhood quite a lot actually!
I LOVE blueberries so I decided to use Blueberry Rooibos from Whittard of Chelsea, a long time favourite of mine. Using rooibos as the tea base is great as it has sweeter more fruity tones and is also caffeine-free.
To make this Sparkling Blueberry & Strawberry Cream Soda Iced Tea you’ll need:
- Blueberry Rooibos tea from Whittard of Chelsea (or a similar tea but theirs is incredible).
2. Cream Soda
3. Strawberry syrup (I used the ice cream kind but I’m sure it would be even better with strawberry beverage syrup)
4. Ice cubes
How to make it:
I love to make iced tea in my kilner jars, this AdHoc infuser is perfect for them as it fits right in to them and sits on the bottom so you only need a little hot water 🙂
1. It’s really easy to make and only takes a few minutes. First up you need to steep about 1 teaspoon of Blueberry Rooibos tea for every mug you make, in a small amount of boiling water. Only use a little boiling water so you can make the rest of the drink as cool as possible.
2. Fill the rest of the bottle up with chilled cream soda
3. Add a squirt of strawberry syrup and mix
4. Top with ice and you’re good to go!
This is the perfect drink for spending days in the sun, it pairs amazingly with fresh fruit and kids will love it too. You can swap the tea for a different blueberry or berry flavoured tea but I really recommend Blueberry Rooibos from Whittard of Chelsea for that vibrant blueberry flavour.
Be sure to share this with your friends and family 🙂
