Recently, we were looking for the healthier ice blended beverages available at various coffee shops. And we found this lovely exotic place, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf located at Central, Haji Ali, Mumbai, where we found some good exciting ice blends which are healthier and delicious too.

Some of the recipes of its delicacies like ‘Ultimate Mocha Ice-Blend’; ‘Vanilla Ice Blend’ and ‘Non- Coffee Ice Blend’ were shared by us. These are a good change from your regular cup of hot coffee and ideal for summers.

Though these blends cannot be prepared at the home itself, but you can always order for the healthier options.
