Ingredients
-
Bigelow Green Tea w/ lemon (or regular green tea) *I used two bags*
-
6 tablespoons of sugar *and more for taste*
-
5 or more lemons (squeeze the fresh lemon juice)
-
3 cups cold water
-
2 1/2 cups boiling water
-
Ice (as much as you’d like)
-
*Lemon Ice Cubes** they just look pretty
Instructions
Pour 3 cups of cold water into a pitcher. Squeeze the juice of 5 lemon wedges into the pitcher (I used 6).
Add 6 tablespoons of sugar into the mixture and stir. Boil 2½ cups of water on stove. Put two Bigelow Green Tea w/ lemon tea bags in to seep for 3 or 4 minutes (you can do this while preparing the other part). Add a lot of ice to the pitcher (as much as you'd prefer). Remove the tea bags and pour tea into the pitcher (you can let it cool a little before pouring). Stir the tea and lemonade mixture together and add more sugar for taste (I know I did). Add in Lemon Ice Cubes for garnishment.
**Lemon Ice Cubes:
The “Lemon Ice Cubes” are extremely easy to make. Just grab a muffin/ cupcake pan, pour a little water into each hole (as thick as you’d like the cube to be). Slice a lemon and place the slices into the water in each hole. Place the pan into the freezer until the water is frozen. See, simple. I used one lemon ice cube in each glass, and the rest I put in the pitcher to keep the green tea lemonade cool.
May we suggest to pair with this recipe?
