Every summer in India, the same problem: you want something cold, refreshing, and actually good — but the shelves are full of sugar-loaded bottled drinks, artificial mango crushes, and iced teas that taste like coloured syrup. Something had to change.
TEAME Ice Brews changed it. Quietly, without a big campaign, we became India's most-reviewed iced tea range — 17,000+ customers, 4.9-star averages across flavours, and a product that genuinely tastes like it was made from real fruit and real tea. Because it was.
The range has five flavours: Lemon, Lychee, Peach, Wild Berry, and Mint Green. Each comes in cold brew bags that steep in chilled water in 5 minutes. No sugar. No artificial flavours. No preservatives. And as the recipes below prove — no limit to what you can make with them.
The Five TEAME Ice Brews: A Quick Flavour Guide
Before you start brewing, here's what you're working with. Each flavour has a distinct character that shapes which recipes it suits best:
Lemon — Clean, bright, and zesty. The classic. Works with almost anything and holds up brilliantly as a mocktail base. No sweetener needed.
Lychee — Floral and delicate, less acidic than lemon. Best for lighter drinks. If you find most iced teas too sharp, Lychee is your flavour.
Peach — The most popular flavour in the range (5.0 stars, 384 reviews). Naturally smooth and sweet without being cloying. Excellent for party drinks.
Wild Berry — Tart, bold, and fruit-forward. Mixed berry flavour with enough punch to stand up to heavy mixers like pomegranate juice and ginger beer.
Mint Green — A green tea base with spearmint. The lowest caffeine option. Cool, earthy, and the go-to for morning or post-meal drinks.
10 Iced Tea Recipes to Make at Home This Summer
Two recipes per flavour. Simple enough for a Tuesday, impressive enough for a party.
1. Classic Indian Masala Lemon Iced Tea
The street-style upgrade. This is nimbu paani met cold brew and never looked back — bright, lightly spiced, and finished with black salt for that signature tangy depth.
Ingredients
- 1 TEAME Lemon Ice Brew bag
- 350ml chilled water
- ¼ tsp black salt (kala namak)
- 1 pinch roasted cumin powder
- 4–5 fresh mint leaves

- Remove the bag. Add black salt and cumin powder and stir well.
- Pour over a tall glass of ice cubes.
- Garnish with fresh mint and a lemon slice.
- Sweeten only if needed — the lemon is already balanced.
2. Lemon Tea Sparkling Mojito Mocktail
A zero-alcohol crowd pleaser for brunches and rooftops. The lemon brew acts as the tea base you'd normally build a mojito on — only it's already flavoured, so half the work is done.
Ingredients
- 1 TEAME Lemon Ice Brew bag
- 200ml chilled water (for concentrate)
- 150ml plain sparkling water
- 6–8 fresh mint leaves

- Fill with crushed ice.
- Pour the tea concentrate over the ice.
- Top with sparkling water, stir once, and serve with a mint sprig.
3. Lychee Rose Cooler
Floral, barely sweet, and genuinely stunning to look at. The lychee brew's natural florality pairs with rose water in a way that feels expensive but costs next to nothing.
Ingredients

- 1 tsp rose water

- Pour over ice into a wine glass or tall glass.
- Drop in fresh lychees and scatter rose petals on top.
- Serve without sweetener — the brew has natural floral sweetness.
4. Lychee Ginger Fizz
Delicate floral meets punchy ginger. Surprisingly addictive. If you normally find iced teas too one-note, this combination adds enough warmth and fizz to keep every sip interesting.
Ingredients

- 100ml ginger ale or ginger beer
- 3 thin slices fresh ginger

5. Peach Iced Tea Arnold Palmer (Indian Style)
Half peach tea, half nimbu paani — the best summer hybrid nobody told you about. The layered look makes it as shareable as it is drinkable.

Why These Recipes Work So Well with TEAME
The reason these recipes come together effortlessly is the quality of the base. TEAME Ice Brews don't use flavour concentrates or artificial essences — so there's no synthetic aftertaste competing with your fresh mint, real ginger, or lime juice. The tea flavour is honest and clean, and it does what good ingredients always do: it complements without overpowering.
This is also why the range works for both quiet sipping and proper party drinks. The Peach Ice Brew (5.0 stars, 384 reviews) is naturally sweet enough to enjoy plain but strong enough in character to anchor a sangria. Wild Berry is bold enough to hold its own against pomegranate juice and sparkling water. Mint Green, being green-tea-based, is the lightest on caffeine — the ideal option for mornings, post-lunch, or anyone caffeine-sensitive.
Cold Brew vs. Hot Brew Iced Tea — What's the Difference?
Cold brewing extracts different compounds from tea than hot brewing. Without high heat, the bitterness-causing tannins and catechins don't fully dissolve — giving you a smoother, naturally sweeter cup. This is why cold-brewed iced tea rarely needs added sugar. You get the full fruit flavour without the astringency you get when you hot-brew and then chill.
TEAME's bags are specifically calibrated for cold brewing — the blend ratios and bag material are designed for 5-minute cold extraction, not the 20–30 minutes a generic tea bag typically needs when cold brewed. That 5-minute convenience is real, not marketing.
Practical Tips for Making Iced Tea at Home in India
India's water quality varies significantly. Using filtered or RO water for cold brewing gives a noticeably cleaner, truer flavour — especially noticeable in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. In summer, don't leave brewed iced tea at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Refrigerate promptly and consume within 24 hours.
For bulk prep before a party, brew double-strength by using 2 bags in 400ml water, then dilute to taste when serving. This concentrate keeps well in a sealed pitcher in the fridge for up to 48 hours without losing flavour.
And if you're making a layered drink for the first time — pour slowly over the back of a spoon held just above the surface of the liquid. The gentle pour keeps the layers distinct far longer than just tipping the glass carefully.
