Hi-Ya!
Where is all my tea drinkers at ?
Now don't get me wrong I love a cup of java, but tea has a special place in my heart.
I love the versatility of teas.
Black, Oolong, Green, Herbal, White, Rooibos, Matcha. You can have it iced or hot, caffeinated or decaffeinated, steeped through a tea bag or loosed leaf. Many of them offering you the greatest of health benefits and each one having its own individual appearance, aroma, and taste.
I love Teavana and the numerous types of teas they offer on top of the different blends, but from time to time I like to have my tea time and create my own special tea moments. From curling up with page-turner novel and a hot cup of tea or sitting by the pool sipping on a iced tea.
The Thirst Quencher of the week is: Iced Minty Strawberry Green Tea
Strawberries, Strawberries and more Strawberries ! I love strawberries and mint leaves compliments this red bulb of sweetness to perfection.
I am currently obsessed with the idea of using mason jars for, oh, everything. I make mason jar crafts, store spices in them, make salad jars, overnight oatmeal and transporting everything from soup to smoothies and TEA.
Ingredients
Serves: 32 oz
- (4) bags of your favorite green tea, brewed and cooled
- 4 tablespoons of organic raw honey
- 4-6 large strawberries, hulled and cut in halves
- 2-4 mint leaves, depending on your taste
Instructions
- Brew the green tea bags per the instructions on the box. Note: A regular tea bag yields approximate an 8 oz cup. When I 'm making a pitcher of iced green tea I tend to use Salada Green Tea for Iced Tea (family size), which (1) bag yields 32 oz of tea.
- Stir honey to the warm tea and then let cool.
- Pour the cooled tea in a blender ( I used a NutriBullet) and add the strawberries and mint leaves and blend. Note: I used a Nutribullet, so I had to blend in two batches.
- Pour blended tea through strainer into mason jar or pitcher.
- Pour in glass over ice.
- Enjoy and create your tea memories !!!
