The son of Queen Camilla has uncovered a royally approved recipe book for the ideal iced coffee. The beverage is frequently consumed at garden parties, according to Tom Parker Bowles, 50.

In his recently published book, Cooking and the Crown, he said: “A Garden Party stalwart, served in both the royal and main tea tents alike. The key is to use good coffee (this is not the time for instant) and not make it TOO sweet.”

He first urged getting the following ingredients in order to explore Tom’s regal recipe:

  • Double cream
  • Brown sugar
  • Coffee
  • Milk
  • Ice cubes

Before adding coffee to a blender, it should be allowed to cool for a moment after it has brewed. Tom advised adding some cream, sugar, ice, and milk at this point. He advised people to “blend until smooth and pour into two glasses.”

Helen Bell, a nutritionist from Help & Advice, previously told the Mirror: “In my experience, the term ‘superfood’ is often thrown around, but it generally refers to foods that are nutrient-rich and beneficial for health and wellbeing.

There are “superfoods” in Kate’s smoothie, but there are several. Kale, spinach, and spirulina, for instance, are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.

“Blueberries are yet another example of the antioxidant power they possess. The catechin content of Matcha, a type of green tea, is renowned.
