mmmm . . . I am in love with Mint Green Tea Lemonade. Yum! I have been making green tea iced for weeks now but I have up’d the ante with this little number. It is so refreshing and delicious. Oh happy making! Smiles all around and cheers to you tasting it too! I have been using the absolutely delectable Harney and Sons‘ Organic Citron Green Tea and their Organic Peppermint. I have also stumbled upon a new one from Stash brand too though. It is called Mangosteen Green Tea. Mangosteen is an exotic fruit that I am hoping does not have the same dirty little fate as the Acia berry! I will gulp quickly before I am told I am killing off tribes by drinking it!
Here is the Mint Green Tea Lemonade Recipe I have been using:
Have a four quart pitcher ready
Brew Tea in coffee pot
2 Green Tea bags
1 Mint tea bag
2 quarts of water
Lemonade
4 Lemons
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 quarts of water

Cut lemons in half and squeezed out the juice in a juicer

Add sugar and water, then stir until sugar is completely dissolved
Add honey to taste
Pour two quarts of tea into the 4 quart pitcher on top of the lemonade – Mix
