After days of fog, the SF bay area has been hit by a serious heat wave. Yesterday, my ability to concentrate started to wane in the early afternoon and I wanted a caffeinated pick me up; but hot tea seemed too hot. I improvised a green tea with lime cooler and boy did it hit the spot. So much so, that I wanted to share it with you all. It is as easy to make as it is to drink and it is great way to blend citrus with green tea increasing the amazing antioxidant levels even more!

    Sounds awesome! I love hot green tea when it's cold or rainy, and now this sounds great for when it's hot.

    This sounds so great. You should also try adding pomegranate juice to your tea, also a good treat.

    Wish WE were having a heat wave. It's still a little on the cool side here. This green tea cooler sounds pretty yummy though.

    Mmmm, that looks refreshing. I am doing some outdoor work now and waiting for that heat wave you experienced in the next day or two to roll over my way.

    I can't wait to try this recipe! I've got the tea and the lime, I need to get some agave nectar. Maybe I'll try honey, since I have that on hand.
