Serves 6

Ingredients

Water
4 cups
Green tea bags
4 bags
Lemons
3, juiced
Sugar
1/2 cup (adjust to taste)
Ice cubes
as needed

Instructions

  1. Boil 4 cups of water in a pot and then remove it from heat.
  2. Add the green tea bags to the hot water and steep for 5 minutes. After steeping, remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
  3. In a large pitcher, combine the cooled green tea, the freshly squeezed lemon juice, and sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
  4. Add ice cubes to the pitcher and stir until the lemonade is chilled throughout.
  5. Serve the Green Tea Lemonade in glasses over additional ice, garnished with lemon slices or fresh mint leaves if desired.

Tips

  • 💡 For a more herbal flavor, try adding fresh mint leaves while steeping the tea.
  • 💡 If you prefer a sweeter lemonade, increase the sugar or use honey or agave syrup as a natural sweetener.
  • 💡 For a twist, add a splash of sparkling water just before serving for a fizzy version.
