Berry green tea: A recipe


So refreshing. So good. So simple. A simple twist to the boring green tea - a glass of berry green tea on a spring day!

Ingredients
  • Green tea bags
  • Water
  • Sugar
  • Strawberries
  • Blueberries
  • Lemon juice
Preparation

Boil the water. Place the tea bags in a pitcher and pour the boiling water into it.



While the tea steeps, wash the berries by putting them in a bow of water and gently swishing them so that the dirt settles on the bottom. 

Scoop them out one by one once clean and put them on a kitchen towel. Hull the strawberries.

Put the berries in a blender jar along with sugar and lemon juice. I did not add too much sugar as I wanted to balance the drink with the berry dip for the french toast but you can be as liberal with the sugar as you want!

Blend the berries till smooth with some strawberry chunks in it.

Remove the tea bags and pour the berry puree into the green tea pitcher.

Mix well.

Serve immediately or chilled!
