1. Treat Yourself To Some Delicious Iced Tea
It’s one of the most pleasant drinks to have during the summer, and you can make any version you like. Tea powder makes it even easier to create the perfect iced tea, and you can get creative and add your own personal touch, like small pieces of watermelon, a thinly sliced melon, or even some mint leaves. But if you don’t know where to start, here is a recipe. List of Ingredients:
- Instant tea powder
- 6 Ice cubes
- 1 Cup of water (cold)
- A sliced lemon (to your liking)
- 2 Tablespoons of lemonade
- Something to add sweetness (optional)
How to make it: If you want to add any sweeteners to your homemade beverage, that’s the first thing to go in the glass. Proceed by pouring a pinch of instant tea powder into the glass and add the cold water right after. Stir until it’s all mixed up, and then add the lemonade and the ice cubes.
Depending on how much you like lemon, add a few slices to your glass – the more you add, the stronger the taste. Give it a final stir and enjoy!
2. Tea Hair Coloring
Among all the things to do with tea, we can almost bet that you never considered coloring your hair as an option. However, tea powder is a great way to change the color of your hair. If you want to try some DIY hair lightening, use chamomile tea, but if your goal is to get darker hair, black tea is recommended.
Different types of tea will get you different results, and it’s up to you to decide which look suits you the best. And remember, the results will be better if the tea is more concentrated. The application is very simple:
make yourself a cup of tea using two tablespoons of tea powder and allow the beverage to cool off before applying to your hair. You can apply the tea directly, or you can mix it with a bit of hair conditioner. Let it sit for 20 minutes and wash your hair as usual afterward.
3. Add Tea To Your Smoothies
Smoothies are here to stay! Nutritious and delicious, they are the perfect breakfast-on-the-go. You can make smoothies from those fruits that are too ripe to be eaten, or from those veggies you have forgotten about in your fridge, so it’s also a great alternative to fight waste.
The good news is that by incorporating a bit of tea powder into your smoothies, you can get that antioxidant factor that will do wonders for your health. Green tea smoothies are your best ally if you are trying to get in shape.
