Jasmine Lime Green Sun-Tea Cooler!

Standard

Finally, it’s time to share the recipe you have all been waiting for.

The one and only …

Jasmine Lime Green Sun-Tea Cooler

It’s absolutely delicious!!! And was inspired by my all time favorite Peet’s tea— the Jasmine Lime Tea Cooler.

First, you’ll need a medium glass container. And depending on how much you LOVE tea will determine how many tea bags you use. I used four loose-leaf jasmine green tea bags from Trader Joe’s.

Fill your glass container with water and add your desired amount of tea bags. Cover the top with a paper towel and some string … making sure to tie the sting around the tea bag strings and around the paper towel.

Place outside directly in the sunlight. Make sure the tea bags are visible and directly in the sunlight for  the ideal brew. And then you wait.

Wait about 3 to 5 hours before taking the tea out of the sun. The longer the tea is in the sun the darker the tea color and the more tea flavor you will get.

Then pour your sun brewed tea into a different larger container and add the following ingredients: 1 limes, 1-2 lemons, and 1 orange. Cut, squeeze, and add the fruit.

Then add limeade. I used my favorite, pomegranate limeade from Trader Joe’s.

This part can be tricky. It’s up to you how much limeade you want to add, it depends on how much you like the taste of tea! Then pour your amazing, refreshing tea into an ice filled cup and enjoy!!

Green tea is amazing! It’s loaded with antioxidants and has little caffeine! So enjoy young grasshoppers!
