YORKSHIRE tea is bringing out a brand-new drink that's perfect for summer.

In a hush-hush post to Instagram, Yorkshire Tea teased: 'Shh... don't tell anyone about this, OK? We're only showing you this photo because we trust you.'
But the secret's out now and yes, it's real.
The iconic Northern tea company is stepping into iced tea territory for the first time ever, with not one but two fruity new flavours: Lemon and Peach & Raspberry.
The drinks are made using Yorkshire Gold tea – the poshest of brews – and come with no artificial flavours or sweeteners.
They're also gluten free, vegan, and low calorie, with just a touch of sugar to sweeten the deal.
For now, the range is only available in cafés, bars, farm shops, and hotels, so you won't find it in your local supermarket or online just yet.
But Yorkshire Tea has promised to 'shout' when that changes.
Despite the quiet launch, fans are already going wild in the comments.
One said: 'Omgggggg is there a list of places where you can get this? I NEED IT.'
Another wrote: 'Yessss! I don't like tea but LOVE iced tea so finally I will taste Yorkshire's finest!'

Others chimed in with 'Oohhhh you about to change the game' and 'As a tea addict I am very excited about this.'
Last year, Sun readers crowned Yorkshire Tea the best brew in Britain, topping the list across all age groups.
The brand, famous for its 'Let's have a proper brew' slogan, has been fuelling the nation since 1977, originally designed for Yorkshire's famously hard water.
Even stars like Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire and former Coronation Street actress, have sung its praises.
'Yorkshire folk didn't need a poll to tell us what we know already — Yorkshire Tea is the finest in the world,' she said.
And it's not just telly stars getting sentimental over their steamy mug – the Archbishop of York himself even backed the brand, calling it a staple of British life.
With more than 100million cups of tea slurped in the UK every single day, Yorkshire Tea's move into iced territory could be the brew shake-up no one saw coming.
New summer drinks
Yorkshire Tea isn't the only brand launching drinks to quench the nation's thirst.
Cadbury recently brewed up buzz with its new chocolate mocha collab with Kenco, while over in the fizzy aisle, Caribbean soft drink fave KA has dropped a surprise line of alcoholic tinnies.
Flavours include Fruit Punch, Black Grape, Pineapple and Karnival Twist, each mixed with Caribbean white rum and landing in stores at £2.79 a can.
Meanwhile, supermarkets are getting in on the summer drinks game too.
Lidl is selling pre-mixed cocktail cans for just 89p, with flavours like Strawberry Daiquiri, Mojito, and Bitterol Spritz.
Rival Aldi has its own bargain tinnies from 99p, including Hard Seltzers and Spicy Margaritas.
Meanwhile an iconic 90s booze is bringing back its original cans after more than three decades.
Whether you're into fruity rum, frozen cocktails, or now – Yorkshire Tea – it looks like summer 2025 is shaping up to be seriously refreshing.

Glastonbury shut stage down ahead of rappers' performance as they struggle with overcrowding again
GLASTONBURY Festival is dealing with a new overcrowding issue after declaring fans to AVOID one of the major stages. As Neil Young took to the main Pyramid stage as the headliner of the evening, pop fans have ditched the rocker in favour of other acts. Charli XCX i s set to perform on the Other Stage at 10.30pm, while American rapper Doechii will appear on the third biggest stage, Woodsies, at 10.45pm. 5 5 5 However, nearly an hour before the set was due to start, the crowd at Woodsies had got so big that they were forced to close access. The team simply posted a message on X (formerly Twitter), declaring: "No access to Woodsies. Please head to another area of the site - thank you." Doechii – who has topped the charts this year with her songs Denial Is A River and Anxiety – is still set to perform as planned. This is the second time Woodsies has been forced to shut down for crowd control – with Lorde's early Friday morning surprise set also causing chaos. The New Zealand singer appeared on stage to celebrate the release of her new album, Virgin, in a last minute appearance. So the news came as a massive annoyance to ticketholders, who have criticised the team for poor organisation. They've been particularly critical of putting big names like Charli XCX and Doechii against each other on the line-up, and on smaller stages that don't have the capacity needed for the crowd. "Terrible programming throughout, you need a massive re think for your next festival," wrote one. "doechii and charli clashing at glasto is EVIL WORK!!" said another. Glastonbury chaos as bosses are forced to SHUT part of festival as Lorde performs surprise set "Glastonbury really looked at all the vibrant amazing young artists around and said "nah, lets pump the big slots full of elderly white men". I'm not being funny but I'm struggling to stay awake for Doechii watching Neil Young..." noted a third. And a fourth said: "It's full to capacity? Nobody's at the Pyramid Stage for Neil Young. Everyone is either at Woodsies or the Other Stage for Charli XCX "Glastonbury has shit the bed a bit here. Field packed for Charli XCX. Woodsies closed an hour ahead of time for Scissor Sisters. Doechii still to come. Pyramid very sparse for Neil Young. Meanwhile PULP do an hour in the afternoon and fill the space" 5 5

As the BBC airs punk band's shocking chants, STEVE POLLARD asks: Has baiting Jews become the new national pastime?
The Glastonbury music festival bills itself as a celebration of all that is good in the world, with great artists communing with a crowd of 200,000 self-styled progressives, for whom the festival is a chance to wallow in their own goodness and smug sense of superiority. But nothing better illustrates the darkness that has entered the soul of today's progressives than the crowd's response yesterday to punk duo Bob Vylan, whose screams of 'Free, free Palestine ' and 'Death, death to the IDF' were chanted back with such fervour that the scene was like a 2025 version of Hitler's Nuremberg Rallies. The chant was 'Death, death to the IDF', but what they meant – because the IDF is the army of the world's only Jewish state – was 'Death, death to the Jews'. Imagine being a Jew at Glastonbury, knowing that you are hated by almost everyone around you. In Sasha Baron Cohen's satirical film, Borat, the character describes a game, 'Hunt the Jew'. Everyone laughed at that when the film came out in 2006. But yesterday's Glastonbury chanting showed that its satire is all too pointed. Imagine, I ask you, being a Jew in Britain. In the 20 months since 1,200 Jews were massacred by Hamas in Israel, the UK has seen a leap in anti-Semitic incidents. Between January and June last year there was a 41 per cent increase in assaults on Jews. But that is almost the least of it. The biggest impact in Britain of the October 7 attack has been the unleashing of this torrent of Jew-hate – the likes of which we saw yesterday. Every other week there are hate marches in London and elsewhere with chants to ' globalise the intifada' – to kill Jews, in other words. There is open support for Hamas and Hezbollah, not least by Kneecap, another band performing at Glastonbury. There is pure hatred and poison. But for Jews in Britain, the real point about all this is the double standard. Can you imagine if someone had stood on that stage and screamed 'Death to Muslims'? There would certainly – and quite rightly – have been anger from the crowd. But when it is Jews who are the target, they cheer. And where are the police? Whatever your views of Lucy Connolly's imprisonment after her Southport riot tweets, the double standard is shocking. The lead singer of Bob Vylan incited a mob. Will he be arrested, charged and prosecuted? There is, I suggest, not the slightest chance if the past 20 months of open anti-Semitism is anything to go by. For those who make a regular pilgrimage to Glastonbury, it is more than just a music festival – is a carnival of light and peace. Not for Jews. Palestinian flags fly everywhere. Leaders of Palestine Action – shortly and rightly to be proscribed as a terrorist organisation – are given a platform to spread their bile. The now infamous Kneecap rapper J J O Dochartaigh wore a 'We are all Palestine Action' T-shirt on stage and led a Free Palestine chant. Glastonbury, in reality, reflects the state of modern progressivism – a poisonous cocktail of anti-Israeli prejudice, support for Islamist terror and a moral calculus so warped that Nazi-style chanting is seen as upstanding and worthy.

Legendary trainer Barry Hills hailed as a 'hero' as tributes pour in after his death at 88
Barry Hills was described as a hero to a generation after the legendary trainer died on Saturday. Hills, who was 88, had a life and career that will go down in history. During an era when Sir Michael Stoute and Sir Henry Cecil were dominant, Hills was a terrier snapping at their heels. Though he never fulfilled his ambition to land the Epsom Derby — he saddled the runner-up four times — Hills scooped all manner of big races after sending out his first winner in April 1969. Another 3,180 in Britain would follow. His training career took flight from the foundation of a good, old-fashioned punt. Hills backed a horse called Frankincense for the 1968 Lincoln at all rates down from 66-1 to 25-1. When Frankincense won, Hills, who was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2005, was £60,000 better off. Rheingold, the 1973 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner, would be a contender for the best he trained but Hills could get the best out of any horse over any distance. Royal Applause was a Champion Sprinter for him, while he won back-to-back Ascot Gold Cups as well as the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham. He also enjoyed success in the 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas, and in the St Leger. There was much more to his life than just the horses. From his first marriage, to Maureen Newson in 1959, he had three sons — John, a successful trainer who died in 2014, and twins Richard and Michael, both jockeys. From his second marriage, to Penny Woodhouse in 1977, he had two more sons — Charlie, who took the reins after his father's retirement in 2011, and George, who works in bloodstock insurance. Trainer Ralph Beckett said: 'As a trainer and a man he was an example and a hero to all of my generation. I'll always be grateful to him.'
