Take Bigelow Iced Tea on a Summer Road Trip #AmericasTea

It's summer! That means plenty of road trips in my family. One of the hardest things about going on road trips is not having what you need once you get to your destination. There is nothing worse than being thirsty in a hotel room, and having to resort to the vending machines. No more! I worked with #CollectiveBias to show you how to make Bigelow Iced Tea anywhere you may travel. All you need is some Bigelow Tea to make yourself some refreshing iced tea on the go.

I found Bigelow Tea very easily at Walmart. Deciding on a flavor was the hard part! Finally, I decided that English Teatime would make wonderful iced tea mixed with any flavor. So I purchased English Teatime and an Assorted Pack. How do I make iced tea in a hotel, you ask? Well, if you are traveling to a hotel like I did, here is what you will need. Just pack a pitcher, an insulated mug or glass, and of course your Bigelow Tea!

It is so simple! The hotel I stayed at had hot water available in the lobby. Sometimes, you can also heat up hot water in your room. I took two glasses of hot water back to my room, and used them to brew two tea bags each. Then I filled my pitcher with ice. Every hotel has ice - and lots of it! In no time at all, the tea was ready. I just poured the hot tea into the pitcher of ice and stirred. I also added a bit of sugar, but that is optional. That is it! I was ready to pour it into my insulated glass and enjoy my summer road trip!

Our road trip was so much fun! It was so hot the day we visited the zoo. My combination of Mint Medley and English Teatime Bigelow Iced Tea was so refreshing! Visit Bigelow to shop for tea and get some great tea tips - including recipes. They have been family tea blenders since 1945! Bigelow Tea is of the highest quality and always comes in foil pouches to ensure good flavor and product freshness. You will also want to check out Bigelow's Made in the U.S.A. Sweepstakes!
