A Better, Healthier Arnold Palmer with Organic India Tea: Friday Quickie

I must admit – When it comes to drinks, I save any calories for booze. Therefore, I typically only drink water, coffee (with organic soy or almond milk), and homemade smoothies.

The Organic India Arnold Palmer Makeover: Healthier, less cals & delicious.

Natural Arnold Palmer Recipe with Organic India Tea

Ingredients:

• 1 Organic India Tea
• Lemon
• Mint leaves
• Honey
• Ice Cubes

Method:

1. Boil hot water on the stove in tea kettle (or use whatever you have if not.)
2. Pour one cup of Organic India tea with teabag – steep for 5-7 minutes. Add mint leaves.
3. While tea is doing its jam, place 5-6 ice cubes in a cup. I used a pint glass with 5-6 large iced cubes, essentially to the top.
4. Squeeze lemon into cup. Then, scrape the pulp into the cup.
5. Add a few mint leaves to the cup as well.
6. When tea is ready, pour into glass. Add one teaspoon of honey. Enjoy. Taste heaven
