Also they wanted to emulate us by having a cup of tea. Those of you who have inadvertently given your children drinks that may contain caffeine or large amounts of sugar know that these are hyperactive combinations. You also probably feel a little guilty thinking \"my child should be drinking something that is more healthy and not something that wires them up\". Well we formulated a Kid's Tea. We theorized that the Herb and Fruit teas are full of natural fruits which are very tasty and refreshing; there are significant amounts of Vitamin C and other essential nutrients in these dried fruits and they are caffeine free so all we had to do was make a blend that was appealing to children's taste buds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is where my children came in - they became human guinea pigs or perhaps a better term might be young tea tasters. Interestingly, when formulating these blends the reaction whether they were tasty or not was swift - probably one of the fastest tasting sessions we have ever carried out. Children and adults alike can enjoy these teas - either hot or cold! At home we would always keep a pitcher of Kid's Tea in the refrigerator, which our children consumed with great delight. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA few tips \u003cbr\u003e- do not sugar these teas excessively; there are natural sugars in the fruits, which sweeten the brew when rehydrated.\u003cbr\u003e- make popsicles from the Kid's Tea for your children to enjoy outside with their friends\u003cbr\u003e- let them pour their own drinks (outside of course! they have to learn sometime) - the low cost of kid's tea (despite it's wonderful taste) makes a learning curve relatively inexpensive.\u003cbr\u003e- in the evening after dinner they to can enjoy a warm beverage and you can enjoy a relatively peaceful moment as a family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blend of various dried fruits and herbs from Canada, USA, Thailand, Spain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apple + Rosehip + Orange pieces, Elderberries, Hibiscus + Rose+ Calendula + Cornflower + Safflower petals, Currants, Natural flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e A terrific tasting tea for kids.

Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the tea or removing the tea bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced herb \u0026amp; fruit tea is to increase the strength of hot brew since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIced tea brewing method (\u003cem\u003eIndividual Serving)\u003c\/em\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place 2 slightly heaping teaspoons of herb \u0026amp; fruit blend, 1 tea bag or 1 Q3 single serve packet into a teapot for each serving required.
