How would I make a similar iced green tea to this (says "with Honey and Ginseng" but obviously that's not true because it's 0 calorie).

Also, any other ideas of what to put in iced green tea would be welcome. Thanks!

    lemon! Cut a lemon into wedges and squeeze the juice in, then put a wedge or 2 in the glass. so good.

    I buy torani sugar free flavored syrups at smart and final or cost plus world market. My latest favorites are sugar free peach and sugar free black cherry, both of which are delicious in tea. I have a sugar free orange but I haven't tried it yet. The blackberry and raspberry are also pretty good. But my favorite tea is iced black tea with lemon and sweet and low....can't go wrong with that on a hot day!

    You can get Ginseng tea bags and brew it w/the green tea. For a sweetener, agave nectar has a honey-like flavor (but is not 0 calories). Stevia would work. If you wanted to add a fruity flavor, Celestial Seasonings makes 0 calorie stevia-sweetened ice tea bags (there's a tangerine and a berry that are both great). Again, brew them with the green tea (at a guess, I'd say 1 ice tea bag and 3 green tea bags for a quart of water).

    I add a few slices of fresh orange, lemon and strawberries to the pitcher and let it sit a few hours in the fridge before I start drinking it. Dellish!

    Edited to add- i just brew plain green tea.

    Agave nectar! Even my husband will drink it. Depending on how much you sweeten it its about 15 cals for 24 ounces. Sometimes I add frozen raspberries too.

    I like the Constant Comment Green Tea to make ice tea with. It has an orange spice flavor to it. Use what ever sweetner you like. One warning about making green tea, don't let the water get quite to a boil, and don't let it steep more than 2-3 minutes....use more tea bags if you need to. The longer the tea bags sit in the boiling water the more bitter the tea.
