Boil water and prepare your choice of tea as per the instructions.

Once the tea is brewed, remove the tea bags or strain loose tea leaves.

Allow the tea to cool to room temperature.

Meanwhile, prepare your choice of fruits by washing and cutting them into small pieces.

Take a tall glass and add a handful of ice cubes.

Add the freshly cut fruits and herbs to the glass.

Pour the cooled tea over the fruits and herbs.

Add your preferred sweetener to the glass, such as honey, agave syrup, or stevia. The amount of sweetener can be adjusted according to your taste.

Stir the contents gently to combine the flavors.

Place a lid or a cover on the glass and give it a good shake to further infuse the flavors.

Let the loaded tea sit for a few minutes, allowing the fruits and herbs to release their essence into the beverage.

Once the flavors have melded together, remove the lid and stir the tea.

Your DIY loaded tea is now ready to be enjoyed!
