It’s hard to find anything more refreshing than iced tea, an iced latte, or a good lemonade in the summer. Except perhaps for their solid version in popsicle form!
Here are our 5 favorite recipes: a festival of flavors, colors, and textures that will wow your guests. They can all be enjoyed over ice or turned into popsicles!
You can garnish our lemonades and iced teas with a little shot of your favorite alcohol or non-alcoholic spirit (yes, really!) to whip up cocktails and mocktails in a flash. And while we’re at it, if laziness takes over and you feel like treating yourself a little, go check out our Rainbow Lemonade – lavender & rosemary and Iced Tea – hibiscus & lemon balm mixes. So refreshing, it’ll knock your socks off!
Our 5 favorite medicinal iced recipes
Butterfly pea flower rainbow lemonade
A sunset-colored lemonade from Bas-du-Fleuve—who could resist that? This rosemary, lavender, and butterfly pea lemonade is impressive (and delicious!) with its beautiful blue, purple, and pink gradient.

Lemon balm iced tea from Quebec
Lemon balm naturally has a lovely lemon flavor that we adore. Fresh, it tastes exactly like lemon pie. Yummm. In addition, it is known for its refreshing effect during heatwaves or high temperatures. A must-have for your next picnic in the park! Infused with your favorite black or green tea, it will give you a fantastic little drink!
Lemon balm is a calming plant that helps stabilize mood, relieve anxiety and depression, and facilitate sleep. It promotes digestion and soothes digestive tract spasms. It is suitable for children and can be consumed during pregnancy.

Hibiscus and Rose Lemonade
Hibiscus is probably the most widely used plant for cold infusions around the world. It is the key ingredient in bissap (Senegal), seille (Guinea), agua de jamaica (Latin America), carcadé (Italy), and many more! Here, we love to mix it with lemon juice and rose petals to make a wonderful lemonade. It's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

Plant-based iced coffee
The taste of this drink might lead you to believe it's real iced coffee, but it's not! Cereal coffees are plant-based coffee substitutes made from barley, chicory, beetroot, and sometimes even dandelion. The best part is that you can easily find them in bulk stores and grocery stores.
A special mention goes to Amour Tonique, who make delicious ones, and who completely won me over by incorporating medicinal mushrooms into their concoctions. Their mushroom-based preparations are not only caffeine-free but are rich in medicinal properties that build long-term energy, as most medicinal mushrooms do.

Iced Golden Milk
My love for golden milk (or perhaps better known as golden milk) goes way back. I started making this delicious warm drink to comfort myself a few years ago. Its taste has never left me! Once, during my annual visit to the Clef des champs gardens, I ordered a cold turmeric and cashew smoothie. The taste was fantastic. A kind of iced golden milk! So I decided to try to reproduce this fantastic recipe at home. Here is my final recipe.
This drink can be enjoyed as popsicles!
