Refreshing Iced Tea Recipes Your Kids Will Love

Increasing water intake during the hot summer days is essential. And no one needs it more than our little ones. They are incredibly active and lose a lot of water through sweating, so you need to find a way to make them replenish it. One way you can persuade them to drink more fluids is to give them iced tea. With its refreshing properties and sweet taste, this beverage will be a family favorite.

Cold tea, or more commonly known as iced tea, is easy to prepare and store. To prepare iced tea, you can use any tea your kids like, including black, green, white, and herbal teas. You can combine it with fruits like mango, peach, berries, passion fruit, pomegranate, lemon, to name a few.

There is no limitation to the blends that you can prepare. Iced tea can be flavored with syrups or mint leaves and citrus slices.

Besides all varieties and delicious recipes, there are many benefits of consuming iced tea because it is an excellent antioxidant and helps the body fight free radicals. Below, we will talk about some ideas on finding your kid's favorite ice tea.

Refreshing iced tea can be great on a hot summer day for your kiddos. Here are some kid-friendly ideas! Click To Tweet

Fruit Iced Tea Recipes



If your kids don’t like eating fruit, this is a painless way to sneak in some vitamins. As we already mentioned, you can combine ice tea with lots of fruits, and you can experiment with different teas and different kinds of fruits.

The most popular combination is with any berry, such as raspberry, blackberry, and, of course, the kid favorite – strawberries. Your children will be nomming on those tasty goodies in no time while they sip on their sweetened iced tea.

From orange to lemon or lime, slices of citrus can also be a great combination with iced tea. All of these are not only refreshing, but they are also very healthy because of all vitamins contained in the fruit.

To make this drink more fun, it can be prepared in your kid's favorite glass with a cartoon character with colorful straws or just put in jars with interesting details such as your kid's name, doodle art, etc.

Healthy Iced Tea Recipes with Herb Combinations


It is always good to have a delicious drink already prepared for the kids when they get home. You can make it by mixing iced tea with different spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, etc.

Cardamom contains high amounts of digestive enzymes that can help with food digestion. A large percentage of kids have constipation issues, so this spice can help improve your child’s metabolism.

Additionally, cinnamon is always a good suggestion due to its potent taste and aroma. Furthermore, iced tea with ginger in it, will undoubtedly represent a healthy plan of action to stop digestive disorders.

Fresh mint and basil leaves can be helpful if your children suffer from frequent health issues like cough, cold, fever, diarrhea, and vomiting, especially in the days of seasonal viruses.

You can also grow some of these herbs at home, whether you live in the countryside or an urban dwelling, so your kids can always have the freshest ingredients in their cups of tea.

Homemade Iced Tea is Perfect For Snack Time


Sometimes iced tea can help with food cravings, and although it can not replace the entire meal, it can be an ideal snack in between meals. You can perfectly combine it with snacks such as banana bread or oatmeal biscuits. This beverage will quickly become a daily favorite on your kid's menu.

Enjoying the beach on hot summer days with iced tea and ice cream can be a real treat for kids. When your children get low on energy, give them ice cream, refresh them with an iced tea and let them relish in it. It will make them happier, boosting their energy.

Iced tea is also great with healthy snacks, such as dried fruit or any nuts.

Flavored Iced Tea Recipes are the Perfect Any-Time-Of-The-Day Drink

This beverage goes well with every meal during the day. Whether it is time for breakfast or dinner, you can always offer fresh ice tea to your kids. You can combine it with different types of food like pancakes, club sandwiches, pizza rolls, etc.

When it's time for a movie adventure together with your kids, popcorn and iced tea will be a must-have combination. Also, you can prepare this kind of drink if you are planning to go on a long road trip where you would need that extra hydration because the car air conditioning can dry out the air.

Hydrating your kids and yourself with a healthy beverage during a long trip will be an essential thing to drink to diminish the effects of traveling. This drink can be prepared at home and easily stored. So you will always be ready for any outdoor activities with your kids.

Final thoughts


Consuming more and more liquids is something that we hear a lot from many medical people nowadays, and iced tea is just one of the ways you can achieve this. The healthy properties contained in this drink can positively affect the metabolism of your kids.

Preparing these iced tea beverages is easy and fun and takes only about 20 minutes to get ready. You can make different and refreshing combinations from the fresh ingredients you have on hand.

Once you prepare it for the kids, the whole family can enjoy consuming it, and your kids will demand it all the time. That will develop a healthy habit, and you will improve the overall health of your children.

Do your children enjoy iced tea?
