June is National Iced Tea Month—a perfect time to raise a chilled glass to the joys of sunshine, flavour, and the art of slow sipping. At The Travelling TeaRoom Boutique, we believe iced tea is more than just a beverage—it’s a beautiful ritual, a moment of refreshment, and a little celebration in a glass.

Whether you enjoy it fruity, floral, herbal, or bold, iced tea offers endless ways to cool down in style. Here’s how to make the most of this summery tradition—with signature blends, helpful tips, and a sweet little bonus.

✨ Brew Beautifully: Tips for the Perfect Iced Tea

Choose your blend wisely. Not all teas are created equal when chilled. These summer-ready favourites from our collection shine over ice:

• Black Rose Tea – A romantic twist on classic black tea with delicate rose petals.
• Peach Blossom – Juicy and sun-kissed, this blend is made for patio lounging
• Rose Sencha Green Tea – Light, refreshing, and floral with a hint of grassy green tea.
• Berry Blast Herbal – A caffeine-free explosion of berries and hibiscus, perfect for all-day sipping.
• Angel Herbal – Soothing and subtle, with calming citrusy notes for peaceful summer afternoons
• Cold brew for smoothness. For a mellow, less bitter flavour, steep your loose leaf tea in cold water and refrigerate overnight. Simply place 1 tablespoon of tea per 2 cups of water into your infuser or pitcher, and let time do the work.
• Sweeten gently. While honey or fruit juice adds natural sweetness, simple syrup is a go-to for iced tea lovers—it blends beautifully, even in cold beverages.

🍯 Bonus Sip Tip: Make Your Own Simple Syrup

No need to fuss with granulated sugar that won’t dissolve—simple syrup is a quick, elegant solution.

Classic Simple Syrup
Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar (white or cane sugar)

Instructions:

1. Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan.
2. Warm over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely
3. Remove from heat and let cool.
4. Store in a glass jar or bottle in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Optional twist: Add a sprig of mint, a few slices of ginger, or a pinch of dried lavender while heating. Strain before storing for a subtly infused syrup that pairs beautifully with teas like Peach Blossom or Rose Sencha.

🌿 Add a Little Energy to Every Sip

Our crystal-charmed stainless steel tea infusers do more than just steep your tea—they let you infuse each cup with intention. Choose from stones like rose quartz for love, amethyst for calm, or green aventurine for a touch of summer abundance. It’s a stylish way to bring mindfulness to your tea ritual.

🎁 Iced Tea, the Boutique Way

Looking to treat a tea-loving friend—or yourself? Create your own Summer Sipping Bundle with:

Cheers to summer, sparkle, and steeped perfection!
