Green Tea Lime Iced Tea is delicious and easy way to enjoy fresh brewed iced green tea…
Can you believe it’s already wednesday?
My weekend was a whirlwind of so many good things… so many. Saturday was all about different kinds of pastries, udon, soba, gising-gising, sinuglaw, gelato, pizza, spaghetti bolognese, and okonomiyaki. Then Sunday was all about Spanish dishes like Cocido, paella, callos buns, and churros.
I’ll tell you all about them as soon as I’m done going through the yummy photos.
Monday and Tuesday. Weeeelllll, those days were spent taking it easy. I was so full last weekend that I felt I was still full the next two days, if you know what I mean.
This week, I’m sipping this Green Tea Lime Iced Tea. Aside from these wonderful water infusions, green tea is also a smart swap for sugary juices and drinks. I am also hoping to reap the wonderful health benefits of green tea which includes lowering the risk for type II diabetes, alzheimer’s disease, and parkinson’s disease, help increase the fat burning capability of the body, and improvement in brain function.
Holding a glass of it also makes me look more zen… hahaha

Will it taste good if we add some mint leaves in it?
I think it will taste even better! Thanks!
While I drink tea year round, I can’t wait for summer. I love making sun tea and I think I’ll try this one once the season comes around.
This looks so refreshing. I’m all about cold iced tea using real tea. I really like the combo of the green tea and lime!

Such a pretty presentation! I don’t actually drink tea, but it looks good enough, I might have to give it a try!
What a great idea – I love green tea but have never had it cold before. And I love that there’s. no sugar in it. I can’t eat refined sugar, only honey so this would be perfect for me! Thanks for the idea!
I have definitely put lemon into my green tea, but haven’t tried it cold with lime. This sounds like a refreshing, tasty drink. Thanks for the recipe!
This iced tea looks so good! I’m a sucker for tea, especially iced tea, in the summertimes! I can’t wait til the weather is a bit warmer so I can make this!

I love iced tea. I’ve never had it with green tea though. I’d def. be interested in trying it.
I started drinking tea late December last year and I’m glad that I liked it. I am teaching myself to appreciate green tea though – I’ve tried something with a bitter taste. But I’m gonna try your Green Tea Iced Tea, should be a good twist.
