Who says tea has to be serious? At Tea Trunk, we believe tea is about joy, creativity, and everyday celebration—and what better way to celebrate the weekend than by turning your favourite blends into refreshing, alcohol-free mocktails? Whether you’re hosting brunch, lounging by the pool, or watching the sunset from your balcony, tea mocktails are the perfect way to sip something flavourful, beautiful, and beneficial. Packed with antioxidants and free from alcohol or added junk, they’re a fresh take on hydration that your body (and your Instagram) will thank you for.
Let’s start with a showstopper: the Blue Pea Sparkler. This mocktail isn’t just stunning to look at—it’s a magical colour-changing potion that always gets people talking. Brew a strong cup of Tea Trunk’s Blue Pea Tea and let it cool completely. In a tall glass, add a splash of elderflower syrup, lots of ice, and top it up with chilled soda or sparkling water. Pour in the blue tea last and squeeze a little lemon juice on top. Watch as the vibrant blue transforms into a deep purple—it’s a visual delight and a science experiment in a glass. Plus, blue pea is known for its antioxidant properties and mood-boosting benefits, so you’re basically sipping wellness with every fizzy, floral mouthful.
Next up: a mocktail that brings tropical vacation vibes right to your kitchen—the Hibiscus Mojito. This one’s our go-to for hot afternoons when all you want is something zingy, cold, and ultra-refreshing. Start by cold brewing Tea Trunk’s Hibiscus Tea. Just pop a few spoonfuls into cold water and let it steep overnight in the fridge. In a glass, muddle a few fresh mint leaves with lime wedges and a spoon of honey (or jaggery syrup if you're feeling fancy). Add ice, pour the cold-brewed hibiscus tea over, and top with sparkling water. It’s tangy, minty, floral, and full of vitamin C—a summer thirst-quencher that feels indulgent without being heavy.
For those who lean towards subtle, floral notes, our Lavender White Tea Lemonade is a calming, elegant choice. Brew Tea Trunk’s Lavender White Tea and let it cool to room temperature. In a jug, mix the tea with freshly squeezed lemon juice and a touch of honey. Chill it in the fridge and serve in glasses garnished with thin lemon slices and edible flowers. This mocktail is soothing, beautiful, and sophisticated—perfect for a relaxing afternoon or as a gentle start to your brunch. Lavender is known for its stress-relieving properties, while white tea is delicate and packed with antioxidants. Together, they create a mellow blend that refreshes your body and calms your mind.
What makes tea mocktails special isn’t just the taste—it’s the ritual. You slow down, brew your base, play with fresh ingredients, and create something unique and beautiful. It’s a blend of creativity and nourishment, where each sip offers a little joy and a lot of goodness. And the best part? There’s no wrong way to make one. You can experiment with different Tea Trunk blends, mix in herbs, fruits, floral syrups, even a dash of spice. Think chamomile with ginger ale, rose oolong with crushed berries, or green tea with cucumber and lime. The possibilities are endless, and each one is a delicious way to sneak in more antioxidants and hydration.
If you’re hosting, tea mocktails also make a great alcohol-free option for guests who don’t drink—or for times you just want to keep things light. Serve them in mason jars or cocktail glasses, add fun garnishes like mint sprigs or citrus slices, and watch how quickly they disappear. Kids love them too, especially the colour-changing ones. And since there’s no caffeine in many of our blends, you can enjoy them at any time of day.
So this weekend, skip the sugary sodas and the heavy cocktails. Brew a pot of your favourite Tea Trunk blend, get creative with what’s in your kitchen, and make yourself a mocktail that’s as refreshing as it is rewarding. Because tea doesn’t have to be just a quiet morning ritual—it can be the life of the party too.
And remember: tea mocktails are about more than flavour. They’re about pausing, playing, and pouring yourself something beautiful. Happy sipping!
