You may not be able to hit the town right now, but that doesn't mean you can't bring the fun home. So shake off the stress and try out one of these tea cocktails. 

What with stress levels running high and stay-at-home orders in place, the beneficial effects of tea have never been more important. If we&#39;re not burnt out by the constant flow of (not so nice) news reports, then we&#39;re probably overwrought by the pressure of meeting deadlines while adjusting to working from home. So having a few tricks up your sleeve to boost your mental and emotional well-being is&nbsp;now all the more necessary.

One useful tip&nbsp;is to try drinking more tea. Not only does tea&nbsp;make it easy to up your fluid intake, it has been proven to&nbsp;help alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety. But if you&#39;re bored of the usual cuppa, why not try an iced tea cocktail? Tea cocktails are the new mocktails, after all, and they are suitable for any time of the day, not just&nbsp;happy hour.&nbsp;

On that note, we&#39;ve come up with two&nbsp;delicious tea cocktails for you to try at home, so you can literally drink your way to relaxation.&nbsp;
