Thirst Quencher of the Week: Iced Minty Strawberry Green Tea

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
  1. 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. 
  2. Stir honey to the warm tea and then let cool.
  3. 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.
  4. Pour blended tea through strainer into mason jar or pitcher.
  5. Pour in glass over ice.
  6. Enjoy and create your tea memories !!!
