Okay, so I’ve been seeing all these “green tea mix” recipes floating around, and I finally decided to give it a shot. I’m not gonna lie, I was a little skeptical at first, but hey, gotta try new things, right?

Getting Started

First things first, I needed to gather my ingredients. This is what I ended up using:

• Green Tea: I just used some basic green tea bags I had in the cupboard. Nothing fancy.
• Sweetener: I went with honey because, well, I like honey. You could use sugar, agave, whatever floats your boat.
• Lemon: Gotta have that citrusy kick! I used one whole lemon, but you might want less (or more!) depending on your taste.
• Mint: Fresh mint leaves for that extra refreshing vibe. I just grabbed a bunch from my little herb garden.
• Ice: Lots and lots of ice. It is summer after all.

Mixing it Up

Alright, time to get to the actual mixing part. This is where it gets real, people!

1. I brewed the green tea. I used about two tea bags for a big pitcher. Boiled the water, steeped the tea for like, 5 minutes, then took the bags out.
2. While the tea was still hot, I stirred in the honey. I didn’t measure, just kinda eyeballed it until it tasted sweet enough.
3. I squeezed the lemon juice into the tea. Again, I didn’t measure precisely. Just went with my gut.
4. I muddled the mint leaves a bit. Crushed them a little at my jar bottom.
5. I add the ice to my jar, then pour the tea into the jar.

The Final Result

And that’s it! Seriously, it was super easy. I took a sip and…wow. It was actually really good! The combination of the green tea, lemon, and mint is so refreshing, especially on a hot day. The honey added just the right amount of sweetness. I was pleasantly surprised.

I chilled the rest of the pitcher in the fridge for later. I can definitely see myself making this again. It’s a perfect alternative to sugary sodas or juices. Plus, it feels kinda healthy, you know? Green tea and all that.

So, yeah, if you’re looking for a simple, refreshing drink, definitely give this green tea mix a try. You might just be surprised at how much you like it!
