Usually found relaxing under the sea, now he’s here to help you make tea! This delightful ManaTea Infuser is not only super cute - but super useful. Fill his tail with tea leaves & let his flippers hang over the side of your cup. Add hot water and let the brewing begin.
Here at Stash Tea, we’re welcoming summer with open arms. Whether you’re admiring the summer weather through your office window or digging your toes into the warm sand, iced tea is a simple and delicious refreshment. There are 2 basic ways to brew iced tea:

Step 3: Take out the tea leaves or bags and pour in the remaining water.
Step 4: Chill in the fridge or serve over ice.
THE COLD METHOD
Step 1: Use 2 tsp. loose tea or 2 tea bags for every 8 oz. of water.Step 2: Pour the water over your leaves.
Step 3: Leave the tea to steep in your fridge for 3 to 8 hours, depending on how strong you want it.
Step 4: Pour tea over ice and serve.
While we love a traditional glass of black iced tea, we also enjoy a variety of flavors all summer long. Moroccan Mint Green Tea, Peach Black Tea, and Wild Raspberry Hibiscus Herbal Tea are among our favorites.
If you are familiar with the Northern Quarter of Manchester, you may also be familiar with The Teacup - a lovely little tea shop, where they have these interesting contraptions, which are used for steeping times.
During my visit, I was very much tempted to filch one for myself - but I didn’t (this is the important thing). And I am very pleased to say that I have handed in a CV to this establishment, and hoping against hope that they will contact me with regards to a full time summer job, there.
Wish me luck!
