- Thai Iced Tea with an Irish Creamy Finish
The Global Classic:
Thailand's famous iced tea, or Cha Yen, is a creamy, spiced black tea served over ice with condensed milk. Bold, sweet, and refreshing, it’s a street-food staple.
Mrs Doyle’s Twist:
Brew a strong pot of Mrs Doyle’s Spicy Chai, its cinnamon and clove notes are perfect for the job. Sweeten with condensed milk or coconut milk for a dairy-free version, and serve over crushed ice. Add a sprig of fresh mint for a herbal Irish nod.

- - Moroccan Mint Iced Tea with Hangout Tea
The Global Classic:
In Morocco, mint tea is a cultural symbol, traditionally made with green tea and fresh spearmint, poured from a height and shared with guests.
Mrs Doyle’s Twist:
Use Mrs Doyle’s Hangout Tea, infused with Irish-grown nettle, fennel, and peppermint, to add a Celtic herbal profile. Serve over ice with a squeeze of lemon and a dash of honey for a sweet, earthy refreshment.
Tip: Cool down with a Moroccan mint iced tea with Irish wild herbs from Mrs Doyle’s garden.
- - American Sweet Tea with Happy Tea
The Global Classic:
The South's favourite refreshment, American Sweet Tea, is black tea brewed strong, sweetened generously, and served ice-cold with lemon.
Mrs Doyle’s Twist:
Swap basic black tea for Mrs Doyle’s Happy Tea for a fruity twist. Sweeten with agave or honey, and add slices of lemon and fresh berries. It’s like a Southern picnic with an Irish countryside vibe.
Tip: Make a better sweet tea with Irish berries and bold black tea from Mrs Doyle’s kitchen.
- - Japanese Iced Green Tea with a Floral Irish Note
The Global Classic:
In Japan, iced green tea (reicha) is light, grassy, and naturally cooling—perfect for clean, minimal refreshment.
Mrs Doyle’s Twist:
Brew Mrs Doyle’s Japanese Sencha and chill it slowly in the fridge. Add a few edible flowers like chamomile or lavender to blend Ireland’s floral fields into Japan’s zen gardens. It’s subtle, calming, and incredibly hydrating.
Tip: Discover the harmony of Irish florals and Japanese tea with this summer iced blend.
