In the court of the King of England in the eighteenth century to the present, tea has never ceased to seduce. Traditionally drunk hot or in iced soda (and very sweet), iced tea 'home made' is more and more trend in recent years. Between flavors and benefits, it would be wrong to deprive oneself of them.

Why drink tea in summer?

Ingesting a hot drink as the temperatures soar, you'd have to be crazy! Not really. But if the idea that ' you have to drink hot in the summer ' is far from real, drinking iced is not necessarily the right alternative. Because the human body self-regulates its temperature, when one drinks hot, one thus perspires more and one dehydrates more quickly. Same when the drink is too cold! The ideal would therefore be to opt for a cool drink (neither too hot nor too cold). Be that as it may, hydration is one of the major concerns for staying in shape. So no question, to ignore our favorite drink: tea. A news that should delight those who have already adopted in their recipes !

Summer tea and its benefits

Especially since this popular drink of healthy priestesses has more than one asset to make. Diuretic, it facilitates transit and drainage. And the 'detox tea' stamped formulas optimize its benefits to adapt to our needs / desires. Purify your body, slim down, make an antioxidant cure ... Everything is now possible with tea! And if 'iced' formulas are marketed by the largest tea houses, know that most 'normal' mixtures also suffer very well the passage in version 'ice'! And why not a cocktail with tea ?
