Did you know that on the hottest days, feeling thirsty already means your body has been asking for water for a while? Staying well hydrated in summer is about more than beating the heat: it's giving your body what it needs to function well, every day.

The importance of hydration in summer

As temperatures rise, the body loses water more quickly through perspiration, and that loss needs to be replenished throughout the day. Drinking water regularly helps maintain energy levels, focus and overall wellbeing, especially in the warmer months. But drinking only water, glass after glass, isn't always easy to keep up as a habit.

Cold tisane: a flavourful way to diversify hydration

This is where cold tisane comes in. Unlike tea, which contains theine, a 100% organic tisane is naturally caffeine-free: it can be enjoyed at any time of day, in any quantity, without interfering with sleep or energy levels. Served cold, it becomes a natural alternative to soft drinks and sugary juices: no added sugar, no additives, just the flavour of the plants.

• No caffeine, no sugar, no artificial additives
• A way to vary the flavour of your water throughout the day
• Easy to prepare in large batches and keep in the fridge
  

How to prepare your cold tisane at home

Preparing a cold tisane is simple and requires no special equipment:

• Hot brew: prepare the tisane as usual, let it cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least two hours before serving. (You can make about 1.5L at a time)
• Cold brew: place the leaves and flowers directly in cold water and let it steep in the fridge for four to eight hours. The result is a smoother drink, with less bitterness.

Either way, store it in a sealed glass container and drink within 24-48 hours to preserve the aroma.

Which tisane to choose for hot days

The ARCTIC line was designed precisely for this: moments of freshness and revival. Citrus Hibiscus, with orange, hibiscus, lemongrass, rosehip and aniseed, is the newest addition to this collection and one of our favourite tisanes to serve cold. Explore the full ARCTIC collection for other refreshing options.

Other tisanes in our collection also work well cold, especially those with citrus or fruity notes, and although this line was designed to be served cold, it's worth trying more than one tisane until you find your favourite summer combination.
