Ice Ice Baby - The new Fruit Broo Iced Tea Range

So some of you might remember a few months ago, I was raving about the delicious Fruitbroo range. A 100% natural delicious juicy fruity syrup you simply mixed with hot water, it was vegan/pregnancy suitable, gluten free, caffeine free, dairy free and ridiculously low in calories. Phew!

A couple of things I mentioned in my previous Fruit Broo blog post, was how I wished the bottles were larger and how I thought the Elderflower & Lime would be brilliant as a cold drink in summer. It seems like the Fruit Broo gods heeded my call because they got in touch to let me know, not only had they brought out an Iced Tea range but they were in bigger bottles too! 


 "FruitBroo is made from real fruit juices, herbs and spices and this recipe has been specifically blended to be served Iced."

I simply had to try it out and soon the lovely Fruit Broo folks were dispatching their new Iced Tea range up to Manchester for me to delve into. The minute the sun peeped out, I got stuck in. 



Sweet Pear of Peaches! It's the Peach, Pear & Honey Iced Tea!

The juicy peach aroma melts into a tantalising taste of pear with a swish of honey. So tasty it should be naughty!


This flavour hadn't gone down particularly well last time as a hot version but as a cold drink, it was delicious. I don't know if they've altered the recipe slightly or if because it was a bigger bottle and I just chucked it straight it without measuring it out, but the flavours were much stronger. 




Clean tasting and naturally sweet without being sickly and very refreshing - can definitely see myself sipping this at a picnic on a hot summers day or making it up in a flask to take with me on one of my big walks in the Peak District.

The Unquestionably Splendid Darling, Elderflower & Lime!

The refreshingly posh taste of elderflower sparkles thanks to a light twist of lime.


For some reason, I just thought this Fruit Broo syrup would work better as a fizzy drink so I mixed it up with soda water and ice instead. 



An excellent choice (I later tried it with still water, not as keen!), the flavours were more subtle, the lime standing out slightly more but that was to be expected as elderflower is always a light flavour. The overall taste was thirst-quenching, refreshing and very more-ish. I nipped outside, popped my feet up with a book and enjoyed the delicious taste fizzing in my mouth. This is definitely a winner for the summer months, I can see myself adding a splash of Pimms and fruit to the mix! 


 The bigger bottles mean it should hopefully last me a little bit longer than a week - you can see the difference in the bottle sizes here.


However I am prone to just pouring it in straight from the bottle. You can probably make it last longer if you actually measure it out but I like my flavours quite strong - you can see roughly how much I used in a glass this size in one go here


Overall, this is a fantastic product – I'm already in love/obsessed with Fruit Broo and the new range has definitely converted me. They've replaced all the concentrated mixes like Robinsons and Vimto in my kitchen already!

These new Iced Tea versions are currently only available direct from The Fruit Broo Website though hopefully they'll be hitting shelves at some point in the future. As a special treat for my readers, Fruit Broo are offering a online discount so you can grab yourself some now!

Simply enter ICEDHALFPRICE at the checkout which will give you 50% off the Iced Range.

It gets a big thumbs up from me! I'd definitely recommend following them on their various social channels to keep up to date with the latest flavours, competitions and updates. Plus they're really friendly to chat to!

Cheers!
