Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Green tea bags
- 3 cups Hot water
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup Fresh pineapple, diced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cups Sparkling water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 6 pieces Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil, then let it cool for about 2-3 minutes to avoid bitterness in the tea.
Steep the green tea bags in the hot water for 3 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard them.
Stir in the honey while the tea is still warm, ensuring it fully dissolves. Let the tea cool to room temperature or refrigerate it until chilled.
In a blender, combine the strawberries, pineapple, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
Strain the fruit puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove pulp, if desired, and set aside the liquid.
In a large pitcher, combine the chilled green tea with the fruit puree. Stir well to mix the flavors.
Just before serving, add the sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently to retain the fizz.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sparkling fruity green tea over the ice.
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
