You can use them in lemonade, sparkling water or even a cocktail. Just brew your favorite tea, chill then pour into large silicone ice molds and freeze. I love to brew a fruity tea like hibiscus or berry and use the flavorful cubes in a gin and tonic! You can even use tea in place of water next time you make rice for a unique d\u2019lish flavor. If you\u2019re feeling extra creative, use dried tea leaves as a smoking agent for poultry, meat or fish.<\/p>\n<p>And for all you tea enthusiasts- listen up! On September 30th and October 1st you\u2019re invited to explore the world of tea at <a href=\"http:\/\/nwteafestival.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Northwest Tea Festival<\/a>, held at the Seattle Center.
