Summer afternoons with beverage

















What says summer better then a cool glass of lemonade or Iced tea? A combination of the two. All the better shared with friends so here you have it my version of a perfect afternoon:















Green Tea Lemonade




one green tea bag

half a lemon

zest of half a lemon

sprigs of mint

Simple syrup or honey(optional)

Seep tea bag in hot water for about 4 to 5 minutes or to your taste. Let cool a bit. In a tall glass put sprigs of mint and fill with ice. Squeeze lemon and zest into your glass. Pour tea over and add a smig of water if needed. Hint: pour warm or hot liquids onto a silver spoon diffuses the heat somewhat. Add simple syrup or honey to taste.

~ENJOY~
