Iced Green Tea With Lime Recipe

by Susi May 23

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 this simple cooler is great way to blend citrus with green tea increasing the amazing antioxidant levels even more!
