Short answer: iced tea works best with bright, refreshing teas such as green tea, mint green tea or lemongrass blends. Ice dilutes the tea and cold temperatures mute aroma, so brew iced tea a little stronger than hot tea, or shake it with ice to chill it quickly.
■ Three keys to iced tea
- Brew stronger: leave room for melting ice.
- Chill fast: shaking with ice in a shaker keeps the aroma and gives a crisper cup.
- Watch for "tea cream": strong black tea can turn cloudy when chilled quickly. This is a normal effect of tea compounds settling out at low temperature and is safe to drink; for a clear cup, use a lighter base.
■ Frastea teas for iced tea
- Mint Green Tea: naturally cooling, especially good iced.
- Lemongrass Green Tea: bright citrus notes, especially good iced.
- Lemongrass Mint: cooling with a citrus lift, a popular iced combination.
- Green Tea: clean and straightforward, good hot or iced.
- Herbal teas: single-origin lemongrass and mint are naturally caffeine-free, for menus that want caffeine-free iced drinks.
■ Recipe ideas
- Refreshing Mint Green Tea: mint green tea shaken with ice and fructose, with boba and sparkling water.
- Sunshine Orange Green Tea: green tea shaken with ice and fructose, garnished with orange and rosemary.

■ 做冰茶的三個重點
・茶湯要濃一點：預留冰塊融化的稀釋空間。
・快速降溫：用雪克杯加冰搖勻，能保留香氣、口感更清爽。
・注意「冷後渾」：濃紅茶快速冷卻時，茶湯可能變混濁，這是茶葉成分在低溫下析出的正常現象，不影響飲用；想要清澈可改用較清爽的茶底。
■ Frastea 適合做冰茶的茶
・薄荷綠茶：天然清涼口感，特別適合冰飲。
・檸檬香茅綠茶：明亮柑橘香，特別適合冰飲。
・檸檬香茅薄荷：清涼又帶柑橘香，冰飲的人氣組合。
