Green Tea Lemonade - Low Cal/LowCarb/Fat Free

This is one of my favorite Starbucks drinks, which is not terrible calorie-wise as is. Still, I came up with my own comparable recipe with less than half the calories and carbs (not to mention it is easier on my pocket). It’s very simple to make and works as a healthy alternative to sodas and juices.

Ingredients: 4 green tea bags, 4 c (32 oz) of water (for brewing), 3 ¼ c of cool water (for lemonade), ½ c of ReaLemon lemon juice (lemon juice from lemons may work too), ¼ c of honey, 18 Splenda packets.

1. Boil 4 c of water. Steep the 4 green tea bags for 6-8 minutes. Pour into a large water/beverage jar and add the honey. Stir. Add the Splenda packets and stir. Set aside and let cool.
2. Mix 3 ¼ c of cool water and the lemon juice in a separate jar. Once the tea has cooled down, add the lemon/water mix to the green tea mix and stir well. Refrigerate.
3. Add ice and enjoy!
