Makes for a sweet, slightly tart and refreshing drink. You can swap out the limes for lemons. Ingredients:
4 cups water |
1/2 cup granulated sugar (to taste) or 1/2 cup splenda sugar substitute (to taste) |
zest strips of one lime (green part only no white pith) |
4 individual bags green tea bags |
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4-6 limes) |
Directions:
1. Fill a medium sized saucepan with the water. Add the tea bags and over medium-high heat, bring the water to a boil. Just as the brew comes to a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags.
2. Add the sugar and zest stips. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
3. Allow the mixture to cool.
4. Remove the lime zest and pour into a pitcher. Stir in the fresh lime juice.
5. Serve over ice.
