I am a tea-lover. If you’ve been around here for awhile you’ll know that I don’t really drink coffee, so tea is my bag (see what I did there??).  For most of the year you’ll find me within arm’s reach of my favourite tea mug full of herbal tea, all day every day. Most of the time I’m drinking it cold because, you know, I’m a mom of preschoolers and all those memes on Facebook about moms finally finishing their cold coffee at 3pm apply to us tea-drinking moms too!!

I rarely drink hot tea in the summer months but for the last few summers I’ve found myself constantly brewing herbal tea to enjoy on ice. I try to keep a pitcher of iced green tea in my fridge as soon as spring hits since it’s thirst-quenching and full of antioxidants. I love drinking water but sometimes when you have the urge to enjoy something other than water, iced herbal tea is a great, healthy choice.

When the weather turns warm it can be hard to resist all those sweet beverages at barbecues and parties – warm days call for a sweet and refreshing drink and unfortunately most cocktail-inspired beverages contain little more than empty calories. This Watermelon Green Tea Refresher is made from unsweetened green tea, fresh, ripe watermelon and a splash of lemon or lime juice so it’s thirst-quenching and full of summery goodness without all that sugar! So at your next party, you can be the one with a delicious drink in your hand and know that it’s good for you too!

If you’re serving this delicious mocktail to friends it looks great in mason jars with a cute paper straw, but you could also serve it in some margarita glasses at a party…or while you drink it in your sweats with your hair in a bun, snacking on some delicious homemade sweet and salty popcorn, like I do!

    Delicious! I just made this after a hot evening of garden work and it sure hits the spot!! Also, I’m trying to cut back on wine in the evening, and this fits perfectly in my favourite wine glass ;). Thanks for the recipe it’ll be a keeper for sure!
