The Ultimate No-Dilution Summer Trick

On a truly blistering summer afternoon, standard ice cubes melt within minutes, turning a rich glass of iced tea into watery, flavorless shadow of itself.

The fix is beautifully simple: Tea Ice Cubes.

Take a portion of your freshly brewed tea (once it has cooled down) and pour it directly into an empty ice cube tray. Freeze them solid. While we most often use our number-one selling Black Gold, this trick works with any of our delicious loose leaf teas.

When you build your glass, use these golden tea cubes instead of regular ice. As the day gets hotter and the cubes slowly melt, they release more smooth, rich flavor into your glass instead of diluting it. Every sip stays exactly as crisp and refreshing as the first.
