Summer Heat = Hydration! Homemade Iced Tea!
Posted on July 6, 2011
Summer heat is here…finally! With that comes the need for extra hydration!
While water is our best option, decaffeinated teas, coffee, 100% juice or low-fat milk are also good options. Buyer beware- most commercially produced drinks are pumped full of sugar, chemicals (i.e. colors) and more!
The solution is simple…brew your own!
Homemade Iced Tea
Ingredients:
- Favorite flavour of decaf tea (mine is Just UsRooibos)
- Ice
- Lemon wedges
Directions:
- Steep tea with boiling water until desired strength is reached. (You can make this as a single serving, or as a whole pot to keep in the fridge. I used about 6 tea bags in a large jug of 2L-ish)
- Remove tea bags, add lemon slices and refrigerate.
- Serve cold over ice!
So simple. So delicious.
