Green Tea Lemonade is the quintessential summer drink. It’s pleasantly sweet, seriously refreshing, and has a kick of caffeine to help get you through the day!
Bring a pot of water to boil, remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Pour two ounces of water into a glass jar or mug and add 2 green tea bags. Let steep for 2 minutes and then dunk a few times in the water before removing and discarding the tea bags. Let cool.
In a large glass with ice, pour your favorite lemonade and the green tea concentrate you just brewed. Add in mint leaves and stir to combine.
Sip sip sip away.
Notes
I have been making a large batch of green tea concentrate so that I can have it ready when I am. I use 6 tea bags for 8 oz of water, meaning I’ll have enough concentrate on hand for 4 drinks. It also helps because the tea is cold and won’t melt the ice straight away.
THE absolute best lemonade I’ve ever made is the Old Fashioned Lemonade from Persnickety Plates (see post for the link). It seriously makes this drink next level. BUT any lemonade will work, so feel free to use what you prefer (and have on hand).
