Wishing you all a great start to the new week with wellness as we drink something healthy at all times. And today’s recipe is one that we will all love πŸ’• because its a healthy tea 🍡

This very recipe is one that is fresh and healthier , an alternative to the packaged and canned ice teas , made with fresh mint, lime and black tea , most of all chili 🌢 powder that gave it some spiced touch.

I was inspired to make this tea because of an iced tea I drank over the weekend while shopping. In fact Saturday was very hot and I wondered why the rain β˜”οΈ has not set in when April is here and we expect spring 🌿🌸🌼 in full.

And looking for what to drink to chill a bit while shopping πŸ›, I was attracted to this Iced Tea in one of the Chillers in the supermarket which I went for and really enjoyed it. Then I thought πŸ’­ how good it is to really make a homemade Iced tea once I have the ingredients .

And honestly I always have lime because its one ingredient we need at home all the time, so I made sure to purchase fresh mint leave πŸƒto make this tea and share with you guys. This tea 🍡 however is not just an ordinary tea but one recipe you will enjoy on a hot day because its pretty chilling 😎, and can as well enjoy it on a cold day if you prepare it hot for the rain β˜”οΈ. The most being that its so healthy for our system because of the ingredients combination .
