Iced Green Tea Lemonade Ingredients
Green Tea: I used Lipton green tea bags. You can use tea leaves or powder too. Make sure the green tea is plain not a flavoured one.
Lemonade: I used homemade lemonade. You can use store bought one too. But homemade lemonade is easy to make and can be used in making other drinks too. You can even freeze the lemonade by pouring it into the ice cubes. Once set, transfer the cubes into a ziplock bag and freeze them. This way, you can use store lemonade for 2-3 months.
Honey: I used sugar in making lemonade, so adding honey is purely optional. You can use any sweetener of your choice. I added honey to my green tea lemonade. I did so because, adding ice cubes will dilute the drink. Adding honey will adjusts the sweetness in the drink.
Mint Leaves: Brings refreshing flavour in the drink. If you are making this drink in advance, then skip adding mint leaves. Mint leaves, left long in the drink may impart bitter taste to the drink. Adding mint leaves, just before serving is recommended. Ice Cubes: Fill in the serving glass with ice cubes and pour in the green tea lemonade. Use ice cubes as per your choice.

I tried to order iced green tea lemonade from a local restaurant over the weekend but they were out of green tea. I was so bummed but instead, I’m going to turn lemons into lemonade and just use your recipe to make some at home! I can’t wait.
