How to Make Sparkling Iced Teas: A Refreshing Twist on Your Favorite Blends ✨

Summer’s here, and we're officially declaring it the season of sparkle! There’s nothing quite like a cool, bubbly drink on a sunny day—and we’ve got just the thing for tea lovers looking to refresh and recharge: Sparkling Iced Teas.

Think of them as the stylish cousin of your classic iced tea: light, fizzy, and endlessly customizable. Best of all? They’re incredibly easy to make at home.

Here’s our go-to method to create the perfect sparkling iced tea in minutes:

🍹 Sparkling Iced Tea Recipe

You’ll need:

  • Your favorite loose leaf tea (we love fruity blends for this!)

  • Sparkling water (flavored or unflavored—your choice!)

  • Ice

  • Optional: Fresh fruit or herbs for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Steep the Tea Concentrate
    Add 3–4 teaspoons of loose leaf tea to 4 oz of boiling water. Let it steep for 5–6 minutes. Want a stronger flavor? Let it go a little longer—this will be the bold base for your bubbly tea.

  2. Chill It Down
    Pour your tea concentrate over a glass full of ice. This helps cool it quickly and keeps it super refreshing.

  3. Add the Sparkle
    Top it off with sparkling water—the fizz brings everything to life! Adjust the ratio to your taste: more tea for a stronger flavor, more bubbles for a lighter sip.

  4. Customize and Enjoy
    Garnish with fresh fruit, citrus slices, mint, or edible flowers for that extra wow factor. It’s not just a drink—it’s an experience.

 

Tealish Tips:

  • Fruity and herbal teas like Strawberry Fields, Berry Bliss, or Citrus Grove make fantastic sparkling teas.

  • Want a little sweetness? Stir in a touch of honey or agave syrup while the tea is still warm.

  • Hosting a brunch or backyard hangout? Serve in a pitcher with frozen berries as ice cubes. Gorgeous and practical.

Sparkling iced teas are the easiest way to elevate your hydration game and keep things exciting all season long. So grab your favourite Tealish blend and let the fizz begin! 💫
