Jasmine Green Tea Lemonade Recipe
Remember that green tea becomes bitter if oversteeped. If you’d like a stronger jasmine flavor, add more tea leaves (rather than steeping the tea longer):
Ingredients
¼ cup Organic Jasmine with Flowers Green Tea
4 cups hot water, brought to a simmer
½ cup fresh lemon juice
⅓ cup organic honey (check your area for local honey)
3 cups cold water
Ice
Steep the jasmine green tea in hot water for 1.5 to 3 minutes. The water is best at 175 degrees (not boiling).
Strain the tea and pour into a large pitcher. Stir in honey until dissolved, then pour in the lemon juice. Add in cold water. Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours. Serve over ice.
Prefer black tea? Try this recipe with our creamy yet crisp Lemonade Black Tea. The scent of lemons billows up from this tea. It creates a layered, sweet infusion blended with juicy lemon, perfect on ice. Vibrant citrus and ginger meld with the solid black tea base and a hint of savory sea salt.
Love jasmine? Try our Organic Jasmine Green Tea Pearls hot or iced. This premium hand-rolled jasmine green tea features tightly rolled pearls that unfurl into a light, sweet cup. The glowing brew is highly aromatic; a fresh green menagerie with distinct jasmine overtones. This is a tea to savor.
