Keep your iced tea flavorful to the very last sip.
The Summer Kitchen Girls suggest brewing Crimson Peach Bloom Rooibos tea for a refreshing summer drink. It is caffeine-free and naturally sugar-free, with a fruity flavor that is delicious served over ice.
Their clever trick? Freeze some of the brewed tea in an ice-cube tray. Add the tea cubes to your glass so your drink stays cold without becoming watered down.
Save this idea for your next porch, patio or poolside afternoon!

What does it take for a local business to earn trust for nearly five decades?
For M&M Heating and Cooling, it started in 1980 with one truck and a garage workshop—and grew one customer relationship at a time.
Today, some customers have been with M and M since the beginning, employees have stayed for decades, and the company’s commitment to Greater Toledo extends well beyond heating and cooling. From lending a hand with Habitat for Humanity homes to showing up when a family needs heat on Christmas Day, service has always meant something more.
That makes M and M’s recent Consumer Choice Award especially fitting.
As Sam Mezinko puts it: “We take care of each customer like they’re family.”
Read our latest Buzz Book Spotlight here and meet a Greater Toledo business that has spent 46 years putting that philosophy into practice.
