Key Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe:

• Water — If your water has any after-taste, I recommend using filtered water.
• Green tea — You’ll need a green tea bag. I really like the green tea at Costco or Sprouts. There are other brands that provide delicious green tea, such as Tazo and Republic of Tea.
• Matcha — This is truly optional, but if you’d like to give an extra green tea boost, add some matcha powder. I highly recommend using ceremonial grade matcha powder as it delivers the brightest color and best flavor.
• Strawberries — You’ll need three fresh strawberries, plus another one, if you’d like to add slices of strawberries to the glass.
• Lime — Slices of fresh lime add a tangy zing to each glass. You can substitute a fresh lemon for a strawberry lemonade vibe.
• Sweetener — If your strawberries are sweet, you may not need to add sweetener. But if you prefer your tea on the sweet side, stir in a teaspoon of granulated sugar. For a zero-calorie option, use stevia or monk fruit. You can also stir in your favorite syrup sweetener.
• Mint — Add a couple of fresh mint leaves for color and flavor.
