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)
Directions
Step 1
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil, then let it cool for about 2-3 minutes to avoid bitterness in the tea.
Step 2
Steep the green tea bags in the hot water for 3 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard them.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In a blender, combine the strawberries, pineapple, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
Step 5
Strain the fruit puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove pulp, if desired, and set aside the liquid.
Step 6
In a large pitcher, combine the chilled green tea with the fruit puree. Stir well to mix the flavors.
Step 7
Just before serving, add the sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently to retain the fizz.
Step 8
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sparkling fruity green tea over the ice.
Step 9
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
