Homemade iced Green tea lemonade

Have your ever tried Starbucks' green tea lemonade? It's so good and refreshing. There is no reason you could not make the same drink at home. And let me tell you, it's much better when it's homemade because you can adjust the sweetness to your liking (I usually find drinks too sweet for my tastes).

I love the flavor of green tea. Whether it's a hot cup of tea or a refreshing glass of iced green tea with honey, that unique flavor lifts my spirits, no matter what time of the day.

Sweetener - You can use white granulated sugar or brown sugar for this recipes. If looking for a sugar free option, try honey or maple syrup.

Green tea - Use your favorite green tea, I prefer using tea bags to make this recipe. Make sure the green tea is plain and not flavored.

Lemon - Fresh lemons are very important in this recipe. Please don't skip them and don't use packaged lemon juice.

Water - You'll need hot water to steam the tea and then cold water to make the lemonade.

To make this recipe you need bags of green tea, sugar, lemon and water.
