Refreshing is the right word for this recipe for homemade minty lemon iced tea with orange and lemon. It contains vitamins, some mint flavor and is a bit sour (because of the citrus)
We've got such great weather in the Netherlands and are really enjoying it. But warm weather is also thirsty weather. And I want to give my children something tasty and refreshing, without artificial color, fragrances, and flavors.
I can get them plain water. That's beverage number one around here, but sometimes you want something else. And then I make a homemade ice tea with orange, lemon, and other fruits, like this recipe.
Really refreshing with this warm weather and including vitamins.
The only disadvantage of this recipe is that you have to wait 2 hours before you can drink it, so it is really, really cold. But then you've got a great beverage.
As for the tea, I used green tea.
