Mrs. Z's Recipes

I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting recipes, so I read A LOT of blogs. I've been reading a lot about lemons, honey, and green tea lately. The benefits of each is just astounding - so combine them and you've got liquid gold! The best part, in my opinion, is that it keeps you really hydrated. Which is incredibly important for me, as I practice Hot Yoga.

So I was reading different blogs about lemonade and came across Down Home Inspirations. Kristen likes to add lager to her lemonade and it totally boggled my mind because I couldn't not decide whether this drink would be hydrating or dehydrating once you added alcohol to it. Lol!

Anyway, below is my hydrating recipe.

Ingredients

• 6 small lemons
• 12 tbsp raw honey
• 5 green tea bags, preferably organic
• 1 gallon of water (16 cups)

Directions

1. Boil at least 2 cups of water. Separate into 2 heat resistant glasses. 
2. Steep green tea in one glass, for at least 5 minutes. Mix honey into the other.
3. Wash, cut, and squeeze lemons - should yield about 1 cup of juice.
4. Mix tea, honey water, lemon juice, and remaining water in a gallor jar. 
5. Refrigerate and enjoy cold!
