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 💕 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 ☔️ 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 🛍, 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 💭 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 🍃to 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 ☔️. The most being that its so healthy for our system because of the ingredients combination .
Here I share the step by step of this healthy tea 🍵 recipe.
1 bag of black tea
Fresh mint leaves (Couple)
2 medium lime balls
1/2 teaspoon of chili pepper
3 glasses of spring water
2 tablespoons of premium sugar
Step 1.
I will make this recipe by first washing and cutting the lime, removing the seed..
As here above.
Step 2
The mint leaves 🍃 I will pluck, then slice it including the stem.
Here will wash it and drain to keep readily
As above too
Step 3.
To infuse the tea 🍵, I will take a bag of black tea into the pot, adding the appropriate water quantity
Set it on the cooker, covering to start boiling.
Step 4.m
Once it start to infuse I will add the lime, then the chopped mint leavers and chili powder
As here above .
Step 5.
Allow to incorporate and infuse properly for another one minute and set it down.
Once it cools , I will pour it into a bowl allowing it to settle.

And take it into the refrigerator to chill to taste since I did not add ice, avoiding extra water into the tea 🍵 .
This drink is practically a summer drink due to how we needed to chill it to enjoy the heat and hot weather, but we can also enjoy it during spring 🌿🌸 due to cold and the spice tells it all. Make you homemade iced tea and enjoy.
