If you love iced tea, you “get it”.

In the U.S., big glasses of iced tea are served almost as much as water in many restaurants.  Certain preparations, including “Sweet Tea” are practically religion in areas of the country.

Iced Tea isn’t just refreshing, but it can be one of the healthiest drinks on the planet.

Quality teas, like SlimTea, can help you burn fat, detoxify your body, and help reverse aging every time you drink it. In celebration of this delicious, refreshing, and healthy beverage, I’ve compiled my 10 favorite ways to enjoy Iced SlimTea.

(Because our SlimTea Organic and SlimTea Kenyan teas are very strong, I’ve included instructions to brew all three.)

3.  Sweet Lychee SlimTea

Makes 6 Servings

Lychees are an incredibly healthful fruit that are found in China and Brazil. They’re soft, slightly chewy, and resemble the consistency of tapioca. They’re loaded with fiber, healthy flavonoids (the fat-burning antioxidant found in SlimTea), and Vitamins, including C and B. Lychee benefit skin, hair, and heart health. Drink Sweet Lychee SlimTea for dessert, or as a delicious drink your friends will beg you to share!

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Boil SlimTea
  2. Juice half your lychee fruits in juicer or blended until fine pulp.  (If you don’t have a juicer, strain the blended lychees into a bowl and add to the SlimTea.  You may need extra lychee fruit for this method.)  Add lychee juice to tea and set aside in refrigerator.
  3. Freeze 5-10 lychees in the freezer to make ‘ice cubes’.
  4. Once frozen, add frozen lychees to tea.  They take on a ‘tapioca’-like consistency that’s just delicious!
