Cool and refreshing tea recipes to beat the summer heat Tea is a necessity: in the morning, amidst work chaos, upon returning home exhausted, and especially during juicy gossip sessions with friends. It’s a universal elixir, India’s pride, not just a beverage but a vital thread woven into our daily lives.

This delightful concoction is a breeze to whip up and can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days, perfect for sharing with friends or savoring in solitude. Gather some tea bags, hot water, pineapple juice, fresh mint leaves, and a splash of lemon juice. Steep the tea bags, infuse the flavors, and sweeten to taste with sugar or honey. Voilà!
