Recipe:
Green tea is a super beverage due to its high content of antioxidants, some of which may help protect skin from sun damage. The subtle sweetness of peach pairs perfectly with earthy green tea in this drink.
Ingredients:
- 1 green tea bag
- 1 peach, sliced
- 1 3⁄4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon agave
Instructions:
In a small saucepan, combine green tea bag, peach slices, and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Let sit until fully cooled and then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. Combine the cooled tea with agave in a liquid measuring cup. Stir and pour into glasses over ice.
