Baskin Robbins Iced Tea Freeze is the tastiest summer sipper
While most people head to Baskin Robbins for those 31 flavors of ice cream, the new Baskin Robbins Iced Tea Freeze might change that summer craving. Ready to put down the spoon and take a sip?
The new Baskin Robbins Iced Tea Freeze blends real, unsweetened black iced tea, ice cream and sorbet into the sweet sip. While there are tea refreshers at different restaurants, the reality is that this offering is more like a dessert than a just another drink.
Available in two flavors, Blackberry Hibiscus and Triple Mango, these treats build off two popular frozen treats that many fans love for summer. That touch of tea brings a little nuanced flavor to the mix. Still, rich and creamy like a shake, the tea flavor just keeps the sweet in balance.
For summer, the blackberry hibiscus is bright, floral bounty. Not too overpowering but quite intoxicating, the combination of the flavors has made it a huge it. Since it was the first frozen treat where Baskin Robbins combined ice cream and sorbet in a single tub, this variation might set the tone for future offerings.
The other flavor, Triple Mango take a twist on a popular beverage combination. Many people love mango flavored teas. This option takes that idea to a richer level. The unsweetened black tea with the tropical mango and the richness of the tea makes it quite appealing.
Having tea flavors in a dessert can help to keep them sweetness in check. Although the tea doesn’t have to be the predominate flavor, the little underlying taste can make the other flavors pop.
In some ways, these new Baskin Robbins Iced Tea Freeze beverages continue a trend in restaurants this summer. Although some similar beverages take a plant-based angle, the combination of tea and other fruit flavors has been quite popular.
The new Baskin Robbins Iced Tea Freeze is available at participating locations while available.
