Hey Mamas!! Summer has officially arrived over here!!!
With summer season comes sunny pool days, play dates and steamy outdoor activities {especially in August!! ahhhh}. If you are looking for something refreshing to {sorta} keep you cool, try my round up of Austin’s Best Iced Teas! I think I have something for everyone 🙂
Iced Black Tea w/ Passion Fruit at Flower Child
It’s unsweetened and refreshing with just a hint of subtle passion fruit flavor. Add the Rose Lemonade for a healthy Arnold Palmer!! I Love it!!!
Head over to the downtown location on your way to the Austin Library, or make a pit stop at The Domain location between errands!!
Powerhouse Iced Matcha Latte at Serasana
I equally love the Powerhouse Iced Matcha Latte at Serasana, but for different reasons. It’s a magical tea that includes a scoop of plant based protein! Basically it’s like a mini meal in a cup!! Perfect for those busy/hot afternoons when you need nourishment to make it to 5:00 PM!! {#thesummerstruggleisreal} I get my powerhouse unsweetened with almond milk.
If you are in the mood for something light and refreshing, the Mojteato is fantastic! It’s like a virgin Mojito with antioxidants. #winning!
Tibetan Tiger Iced Tea Seventh Flag Coffee Company
The exotic Oolong tea bursts with chocolate, caramel and vanilla flavors and is such a fun–post Lady Bird Lake treat!
Iced Tea of The Day at The Steeping Room
I can’t create an Austin tea list without including The Steeping Room! It’s like the mecca of tea! {Domain location–I miss you so much!!!}
I usually go with their Iced Tea of The Day to spice things up and try something new! Not sure what you want? Ask for help! The staff is so knowledgeable about tea flavors and the benefits of each blend!
Head over between 4:00 PM-6:00 PM; Monday-Friday to hit up Happy Hour!!
Iced Chai Tea Latte at Summer Moon
Drive thru, post splash pad for a fun treat! I get mine with coconut milk and a shot of espresso for an extra kick to keep up with my kiddos!!
Speaking of Chai, if you are Chai fan, you have to go to Tiny Boxwoods!!! They have a house made chai tea that will knock your socks off! (The classic iced tea with lemon is pretty amazing too)!
Don’t forget to grab a few of the delicious chocolate chip cookies and delight your family!
Sweet Tea At Rudy’s BBQ
I can’t forget the sweet tea y’all!! I’m not originally from Texas, so I haven’t caught on to the sweet tea phenomenon, but I can get on board with the sweet tea at Rudy’s BBQ!
It’s not overly sweet and pairs well with Brisket on a hot summer evening!
