We Heart Tea Treats!
Is it just us, or has everyone gone tea-obsessed these days? We’re definitely not in a fight with it as there’s really nothing better than curling up by the fire on a snowy day with a warm mug of tea. If you’re feeling adventurous, why not shake up your daily dose of tea by making these tasty ice cubes with our Belloqc tea collection?
Make ice cubes using the following liquids and herbs and store in freezer bags for up to a week or two (depends on the liquid and herbs used). Mix and match the ice cubes, add sugar or splenda and some plain or sparkling water to make instant refreshing flavoured water.

4. Lemon/Lime juice.
5. Fruit juice (orange, water melon, blueberries, pomogranate etc. - extract juice and freeze)
Herbs:
1. Lemon/Lime zest
2. Mint leaves
