DIY coffee? Global innovations put hot drinks in your hands

France: Mojito Iced White Tea

Terre d’Oc’s Mojito Iced White Tea (€9.95/£8.51) combines fresh mint and pieces of strawberry with the refreshing flavour of rum. This organic ‘cocktail’ blend is bound to liven up tea time.

South Korea: Caramel DIY Coffee

South Korea’s Rich Caramel DIY Coffee (KRW6580.00/£4.49) does just what it says on the tin. Each pack contains eight shots of espresso and eight sachets of caramel flavouring, which are simply blended with milk and ice to create refreshing frappés.

US: Black Tea Blending Kit

Create your own perfect blend with this Chocolate Orange Black Tea Blending Kit ($9.99/£7.64). Combine your ideal amount of loose leaf assam tea, organic orange peel, cocoa nibs and rock sugar, then steep with water and enjoy.

Germany: Cascara Infusion

Coffee fanatics may have previously come across a tea made from coffee bean skins, but now a German brewery is producing a cold, sparkling version of the drink. Cascara Infusion (€5.49/£4.69) could be a new alternative to beer, as it is non-alcoholic and gluten free.

India: Honey Dates Malt Based Drink

The multigrains in Heinz Power Sprouts Honey Dates Flavoured Malt Based Drink (INR230.00/£2.63) are soaked, sprouted, malted and slow roasted to unleash their flavour. Simply blend with milk for a nutritious drink.

Japan: Iced Blend Coffee

Japan is tapping the cold coffee trend with this Iced Blend Coffee (JPY540.00/£4.06) which is specifically made to be enjoyed over ice. It is made using premium Brazilian coffee beans, which are deep roasted for a rich aroma.

US: Spicy Maya Drinking Chocolate

As the name suggests, Spicy Maya Drinking Chocolate ($15.99/£12.23) is no run-of-the-mill hot choc. Made with rich dark chocolate and infused with cinnamon and chilli, this is a warming cuppa with a kick.

China: Matcha Latte

It’s an ancient ingredient dating back to the tea ceremonies of Tang Dynasty China, and now you can enjoy a Matcha Latte (CNY14.90/£1.71) in an instant. Each 120g pack contains six sachets of this creamy green tea drink.

Canada: Hazelnut Sea Salt Cold Brew Coffee

It’s close to surpassing the flat white as hipsters’ coffee of choice, now cold brew coffee has a Hazelnut Sea Salt variant (CAD5.29/£3.08) from Vancouver’s Two Bears. This handcrafted brew is best enjoyed chilled.

France: Raw Cocoa Powder with Coconut Sugar

It’s raw, it’s organic and it contains Fairtrade coconut sugar, so this Cocoa Powder (€5.40/£4.62) is ethical as well as delicious. It can be enjoyed as a hot chocolate, cool milkshake or in baking.
