Lemonaded tea recipe
Inspired by Starbucks' "Shaken" drinks, including one that's half lemonade and half green tea, I managed to create a beverage that I think is at least as good, at much less cost! I took advantage of our industrial strength juicer, of course, to help with the citrus fruit. What I created was really the "concentrate" that I then diluted with water in pitcher-sized quantities. The concentrates seem to keep alright in the fridge for about a week if you cover them well.
For the lemonade concentrate:
Combine 1.5 cups boiling water and 1.5 cups sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add 1.5 cups lime or lemon juice. (I used a combo that was mostly limes, and one lemon, since our lemon stash was found to be rather blue and moldy!)
For the tea concentrate:
Boil 4 cups of water. Steep 8 tea bags for 5-6 minutes. (I used 4 green tea and 4 Lemon Zinger green tea.)
To drink, mix 1 part lemonade concentrate, 1 part tea concentrate, and 4 parts water.
Next up, I think I'm going to try it with mint green tea.
