Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup lemonade I used Simply Light
  • 1 bag Teavana Jade Citrus Mint Tea
  • 1 bag Teavana Peach Tranquility Tea
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract optional

Instructions

  • Combine water and lemonade and heat until hot, either on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • Steep tea bags in the hot lemonade tea mixture for 2-3 minutes. Remove tea bags.
  • Pour into a mug, add in honey and peppermint extract. Stir to combine.
  • Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • I used Simply Light Lemonade, it has fewer calories, and I like the pulp it has, too.
  • Add more or less honey to taste. I felt the lemonade already made it sweet.
  • I like the addition of the peppermint extract. It works to decongest. Leave it out if you don't like that extra bit of mint.
  • Makes one 12-ounce serving.
  • TO MAKE WITHOUT TEAVANA TEA: Follow the same instructions but in place of the Teavana Tea in the recipe use one of each of these teabags; Bigalow Mint Medley, Celestial Seasonings Country Peach Passion, and Celestial Seasonings Vitamin C Shine. I still add the peppermint extract to mine, but it's optional.
