Yum
I've found my drink love for the summer.
I was wandering around the mall parched from all the shopping, when I stopped in a random coffee house to get something to quench my thirst. They had a wonderful array of cold drinks. Typically I gravitate to iced tea. That's my main stay.
But today something came over me and I decided to try their Green Tea Specialty Drink. I was blown over by the light refreshing taste. So much so that I new I had to try and recreate this at home. After several tries I got it down. I dare say, mine is even better!
You don't need a fancy blender for this recipe. Nope! Just a couple ingredients, a tall glass and some ice and you are set. This will become your drink of the summer as well. Just one taste and you'll be hooked. Promise.
This is the perfect non-alcoholic drink, so it's kid-friendly. Serve this at a BBQ, picnic, or a potluck. It's versatile and oh so tasty!
Kitchen Note: This recipe is based upon a ratio of liquids instead of exact measurements. This will allow you to use this ratio for a glass or a pitcher of drinks. Also, I used a sweetened ice tea. If you use one that is unsweetened you may need to add 1 tsp of sugar to the drink. Try it first unsweetened and then add to taste.
Enjoy!
