Iced Tulsi Coolers: Functional Refreshment

With temperatures heating up, nothing beats a little cool refreshment. Bottled iced teas and kid favourites like popsicles are often loaded with sugars, not to mention a laundry list of unnecessary ingredients. Good news, tossing together healthy flavourful blends couldn’t be simpler with ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi Tea Infusions.

With ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi Tea Infusions, you can harness the power of Tulsi while kicking back and making the most of summer. Whether you’re in the mood for something fruity and sweet or strong and spicy, our wide range of varieties makes tailoring flavours to match all tastes and moods a cinch. Try these thirst-quenching blends as coolers or frozen into popsicles and be inspired! Here are three ways to combine cooling refreshment with health-promoting Tulsi. All blends make approximately 2 coolers, or 4-6 popsicles depending on the mold.
