Lemon and Oregano Iced Tea
Share
When the summer heat hits and you’ve watered all your plants, dodged your emails, and are this close to dipping your feet in the dog’s kiddie pool… it’s time for a cold drink. But not just any drink. You need something refreshing, zesty, and a little bit fancy.
Enter: Lemon & Oregano Iced Tea — a herby-citrusy masterpiece that’s basically spa water’s cooler, sassier cousin.
This isn’t your grandma’s iced tea (unless she’s fabulous and shops here). We’re stirring in Oregano White Balsamic for that savory garden-fresh twist and a splash of our Lemon Olive Oil to add bright citrus notes and a silky finish. One sip and you’ll be like, “Wait… why haven’t I been doing this forever?”
Why We’re Obsessed:
- It’s tart, sweet, herby, and totally refreshing
- It makes tea time feel like a mini vacation
- It’s a conversation starter ("yes, there’s balsamic in this, and yes, it’s amazing")
Perfect for sipping on the porch, showing off at brunch, or making your coworkers jealous on Zoom.
So grab your tea bags, balsamic, olive oil, and a handful of mint—and prepare to feel fancy.

This little number is brewed with your favorite black tea, but then we zhuzh it up with our Oregano White Balsamic and Lemon Olive Oil (yes, olive oil in tea—and trust us, it’s fabulous). Add a touch of honey, a few lemon slices, and a sprig of mint, and you’ve got a refreshingly herbal citrus cooler that’s anything but basic.
