Books and iced tea: The perfect summer combo<\/strong><\/h2>\n

From uplifting romances to psychological thrillers, we\u2019ve got the best summer reads for every taste. And we couldn\u2019t resist pairing each one with an iced tea as juicy as our novel picks. Can you blame us?<\/p>\n

MISS YOU by Kate Eberlen<\/h3>\n

Calling all hopeless romantics! Kate Eberlen\u2019s Miss You is a witty tale of two strangers who meet in Florence as teens and whose paths criss-cross for 16 years before fate finally brings them back together. Pull this out on a train ride across Europe and prepare to lose yourself in Tess and Gus\u2019 love story.<\/p>\n

Pair it with: Grapefruit Granita<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n

This lively blend of green tea and crisp grapefruit is inspired by icy Italian granitas \u2013 just what you\u2019d be sipping on holiday in Florence. And like any great romance, it\u2019s just the right side of bittersweet.<\/p>\n

A SIMPLE FAVOR by Darcey Bell<\/h3>\n

Love a good thriller? Darcey Bell\u2019s A Simple Favor is a mysterious page-turner perfect when you\u2019re looking for something a little darker. The twists, turns and betrayals in this tale of a disappearing PR exec, her handsome husband and a curious blogger will keep you on the edge of your chaise longue.<\/p>\n

Pair it with: Maracuja Mango<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n

With a book this suspenseful, you\u2019ll be pulling a lot of late nights \u2013 just one more chapter! This refreshing and energizing blend of black tea and tangy passion fruit will keep you on your toes.<\/p>\n

THE COLOR OF OUR SKY by Amita Trasi<\/h3>\n

This riveting story of a young girl kidnapped from the home where she works will sweep you up into its complex web of friendship, betrayal and redemption. It\u2019s sad, dark and uplifting, moving between Mumbai and Los Angeles, past and present.<\/p>\n

Pair it with: Citron Oolong<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n

Like the slow-blossoming Datura flowers of Tara and Mukta\u2019s childhood, this jasmine-infused oolong iced tea will intoxicate you with its scent. Prepare to drift away\u2026<\/p>\n

GOODNIGHT FROM LONDON by Jennifer Robson<\/h3>\n

Inspired by a true story, this WWII-era novel is perfect for historical fiction fans. Ruby Sutton moves to London from the US to report on the Second World War. The novel follows Ruby\u2019s triumphs and crises through the devastation of the Blitz, all wrapped up in a compelling mix of romance and rich historical detail.<\/p>\n

Pair it with: Coco Colada<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n

So maybe you couldn\u2019t actually get a pi\u00f1a colada in ration-era England, but there\u2019s something so deliciously escapist about this iced tea that we think it\u2019s the perfect pairing for such an all-encompassing read. Cheers!<\/p>\n
