Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece green tea bag
- 240 ml hot water
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 150 grams frozen mixed berries
- 200 grams ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 pieces fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Steep the green tea bag in 240 ml of hot water for about 3-5 minutes. Remove the tea bag and let the tea cool to room temperature.
If you prefer a slightly sweet slushie, stir in 1 tablespoon of honey while the tea is still warm. Allow the tea to cool completely either at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
In a blender, combine the cooled green tea, frozen mixed berries, ice cubes, and lemon juice.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and slushie-like, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired, blending again briefly to mix.
Pour the slushie into two glasses, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately for a refreshing treat.
