Summer is the perfect season for ice treats. HowToTrip Xinyi Branch has specially selected local Taiwanese ingredients to create four exclusive summer ice flavors: Osmanthus Dragon Fruit Honey Ice, Pomelo Jasmine Oolong Tea Ice, Rose Lychee Flower Ice, and Pineapple Tangerine Fresh Fruit Ice.

The Osmanthus Dragon Fruit Honey Ice is priced at NT$230. It combines osmanthus wine from Miaoli with dragon fruit from Tainan. The fresh red and white dragon fruits are made into cute little balls, served with dragon fruit sauce paired with cooling and heat-relieving agar and aloe. The Pomelo Jasmine Oolong Tea Ice costs NT$240. It features tea with a hint of pomelo floral aroma and light milkiness. The leaves are ground at low temperature and simmered to make green tea sauce and handmade tea jelly, offering a rich tea flavor that is bitter-sweet without astringency, paired with sweet purple rice sauce and candied sweet potato cubes.
