Love and Lemons' matcha iced tea is refreshing and minty. The chilled beverage is the perfect drink for summer and can be enjoyed plain or even incorporated with a cocktail mix. In addition to featuring cooking grade matcha ingredients, the minty beverage also requires a blend of crushed ice, fresh mint and one's choice of natural sweetener -- honey, maple syrup or can sugar are some healthy recommendations.
The matcha iced tea is also infused with a slice of lime that adds a hint of zest to its overall taste. This chilled beverage is blended with filtered water and is a fresh take on the emerging superfood water fad that fuses natural water with fresh berries, mint leaves and cucumber slices.
Inspired by the healthy habits of consumers, food bloggers are adapting classic iced tea recipes to feature more exotic and unexpected ingredients.
