Fresh brewed iced tea is such a wonderful beverage for the warmer months. I’ve been brainstorming ideas on how to create delicious drinks without adding sugar because I really need to cut back on how much I consume. It’s so easy to load up on super sweet coffees or teas because, let’s face it.. they taste amazing! But, if I ever want to bare any skin this summer, I really need to tone it down. This is a sponsored post from Lunchbox, all opinions are my own.
Tangelo Mint Iced Tea #recipe

When thinking about real fruits that would taste good in an iced tea, a lot of combinations came to mind. Blueberry with lemon, raspberry with lime, yum. I wanted to try something that I hadn’t had before, that’s where I came up with fresh squeezed tangelos and mint leaves together. With Lipton including their special Iced Tea blends are perfect for making quick iced tea. Sounded refreshing and unique to me! If you don’t have Tangelos available you could definitely simply swap with tangerines or mandarin oranges. Any small sweet citrus should do the trick. Tangelos are known to be especially sweet, so I thought they would be a great way to add natural flavor.

Tangelo Mint Iced Tea Recipe

To make this iced tea blend I used Lipton Iced Tea with freshly squeezed tangelos and mint leaves. It’s so easy to to infuse some added flavor to your spring time iced tea blend. If you aren’t a mint fan, you can omit it for a simple citrus flavor. Hope you enjoy!

  2. I've never heard of Tangelo before. My mother-in-law loves Mint Tea though, she considers it a good Southern Drink :)

  3. I love fruity tea! And I like it either hot or cold, depending on the weather. With spring right around the corner, I am definitely started to think about iced teas to make when the weather gets warm! Love this flavor combo!

  4. Love this! My husband drinks tea like a crazy person and this is perfect for summer!

  7. Love this recipe! I love citrus and mint, and I bet this tastes amazing! Pinning!

  12. This looks so delicious!! And makes me long for summer! :) Just around the corner! We'll be trying this!

  13. I love tea and drink it nearly every day, so I'd love this drink! We have a bag of tangelos on the counter right now, so all I need is some fresh mint! :)

  17. Oh man this looks perfect for spring time. I Love sweet iced tea, I never thought to add mint to it.

  19. Any iced tea is okay with me! Especially when it is infused with citrus and mint! These photos are gorgeous!

  20. I love citrus and mint mixed with tea. Especially when I drop in a little bourbon :)

  21. I can't wait for it to be a little bit warmer, because I can't wait to make this for a warm afternoon outside working.

  22. Great tea idea! I just brewed a big batch of green tea yesterday and served it in mason jars too. :)

  24. Fresh brewed tea is the BEST! The tangelo and mint combo here sounds so refreshing too. Love that you rimmed the glasses with sugar. I'm definitely going to have to do that with my iced tea this summer!

  26. Ooh tangelo in tea?! I never had it in tea. As a matter of fact I haven't had tangelo this entire season, I think. What a miss.

    • The tangelos I found this week were soooo fresh and juicy! Hopefully you can still savor some soon ;) So yummy!

  30. Tangelo? Hmm... I never heard about this before, but I’m guessing it tastes sweet and delicious. It's the perfect summer drink if you ask me. :)

  31. That sounds like a flavor I would really love. I love peach, so I'm thinking this has to be next!

  34. I am actually not a fan of tea, hot or cold. I often get old I'm not really Southern since I don't like it! :)

  35. I've never heard of a tangelo before! And this post reminds me that I need to plant mint soon, so I have it for later this spring and summer!

  36. It's almost summer and time for tea!!! This post made me excited!!!

  37. I love the idea of steeping the fruit overnight. I have some madarins that I can use for this!

  40. Delicious I have been brewing Lipton in my Keurig, I would love to try it with Tangelos! And thank-you for the alcohol free recipe, there are too many of those! Mitch

  41. We drink a LOT of Sweet Iced Tea year round. I am wanting to cut down on the sugar as well. Gonna have to try the natural way. Great recipe.

  42. I have so much Lipton Tea in my cabinets! I am totally going to try some experimenting myself!

  43. I love iced tea and this recipe looks really refreshing! I love peach flavored iced tea and also a berry flavored tea that I had at Starbucks before. So good!

  44. I love iced tea! I haven't tried this flavor though. I usually stick to just regular sweet iced tea but occasionally will get raspberry if I'm somewhere they have it.

  45. We love tangelos, but wouldn't have thought of using them in tea! Will have to experiment!

  46. LOVE IT!! I love love love tea.. I will have to pin this.. I also try to cut out sugar.. as I am typing this I am drinking a DP ;/ Need to make this.

    • Aww thanks so much Aimee! It' is such a hard thing to cut out sugar, it's totally a struggle! :/ Good luck on your mission! Hope you like the tea!

  47. I love fresh brewed iced tea. There are so many great flavor combinations but adding fresh mint leaves is always great!

    • There is just something about mint in tea... I actually am not normally a big fan. But, in tea. Absolutely! ;)

  48. I've never even heard of a tangelo, but I am guessing it tastes like an orange and that sounds delicious if you ask me. I am a big fan of iced tea in the summer, too!

    • It's a hybrid of the tangerine, they are sooooo sweet and juicy! They sure looked a lot healthier than the poor state of tangerines at my local store. I think iced tea might be the official beverage of warmer weather ;)
