Ingredients
Tea Base
- 16 oz Green tea (Brewed and cooled)
Flavorings
- 1/4 cup Freeze-dried strawberries
- 3 tbsp lemon juice (About 1/2 lemon)
- 1 tsp honey
Serving
- 1 cup ice
Instructions
- Brew the Green Tea: Brew 16 oz (2 cups) of water with a green tea bag. While the tea is still hot, stir in 1 teaspoon of honey to dissolve the sweetener completely.
- Cool the Tea: You can cool the brewed tea by placing it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or pour the hot tea directly over a generous amount of ice. Be aware that adding ice immediately may slightly dilute the tea's concentration and flavor.
- Prepare the Serving Glass: Fill a 32 oz cup or mason jar with 1 cup of ice cubes to keep the tea chilled and refreshing.
- Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze the juice of half a lemon, approximately 3 tablespoons, into the cooled green tea to add a bright and tangy flavor.
- Mix in Freeze-Dried Strawberries and Serve: Stir in 1/4 cup of freeze-dried strawberries to infuse a natural strawberry aroma and subtle texture. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Using freeze-dried strawberries adds concentrated strawberry flavor without adding additional liquid or diluting the tea.
- If you prefer a less sweet drink, adjust or omit the honey according to your taste.
- To avoid dilution, cool the tea in the refrigerator instead of pouring it over ice.
- This recipe serves one but can be easily multiplied for more servings.
