Nothing sounds better than an ice-cold drink on a warm day, right? But here’s the thing: Many seemingly refreshing iced beverages are packed with added sugar, which may taste sweet at the moment but won’t keep your energy up throughout the day (of course, we’re referring to the dreaded blood sugar roller coaster).

We know–sugar-free drinks aren’t always as, well, tasty. But rest assured, we’ve got a yummy refresher recipe that not only satisfies the urge for a chilly beverage but also makes your collagen routine that much easier. Here, find the perfect collagen refresher for warmer weather:
Collagen Refresher Recipe
Serves 1
Ingredients:
Ice cubes
1/4 cup milk of choice
Optional: sweetener of choice
A beverage whisk (manual or electric)
How to:
In a separate cup, pour your cold tea over ice. Then, top off with your collagen foam! Yes, it’s that easy.
Which tea is best?
If you’re at a standstill on which tea to choose for this recipe, here’s a quick explainer of three common (and super healthy) teas to pick from.
Black tea: On the flip side, black tea has the highest concentration of caffeine on average. So if you’re looking to cut down on your coffee intake, this may be a good alternative that will leave you feeling more energized than the rest. This type of tea is also high in antioxidants, which means even more health benefits.
Green tea: Green tea contains high levels of the uber-beneficial compound epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Green tea and EGCG have been shown through research to benefit important health processes underlying cardiovascular and metabolic health. Additionally, green tea has a famous amino acid, L-theanine, known for its relaxing properties. Caffeine-wise, green tea is a good middle ground between white and black tea.
There are even more varieties of tea within these categories! If you’re curious, read more about the healthiest types of tea here.

Sweet, refreshing beverages don’t have to have tons of sugar. This collagen refresher checks all the boxes: It’s caffeinated, has natural sweetener, and helps you streamline your collagen routine for the day.
