Bos Ice Tea: Watermelon and Mint

South African brand, Bos Ice Tea, has launched a new summer flavour: Watermelon and Mint. With only 4 grams of sugar per 100ml, Bos tea is made from organic rooibos, is colourant-free and caffeine-free.

According to flavour house Givaudan, watermelon is the top trending fruit flavour in 2018 and mint, the top trending herb. Add the watermelon pink hue and you've got an Instgrammable summer thirst quencher.

Bos Watermelon and Mint is available in the brand's family packs – the 200ml tetra pack and a 3-litre pack for sharing with family and friends. Available on shelf at all leading retailers.

Vegan Flora

Flora’s new vegan spread is 100% plant-based. Although all Flora spreads are made from plant-based oils that come from Sunflower, Canola and Linseed, there is a certain amount of milk present which excluded them from being vegan-friendly.

The new Flora Vegan contains absolutely no dairy, making it suitable for vegans, strict vegetarians and those who are lactose intolerant. It can be enjoyed as a 60% fat spread, used in cooking or baking.

Flora Vegan is available in a 500g tub at a RSP of R29.99.
