Lemon-Gingerade Green Tea Recipe

As promised yesterday, here is the recipe to make a delicious and healthy green tea lemonade with fresh ginger root and honey.

1. Add three small green tea bags to one cup of boiling water.
2. Add one ounce of raw honey to the hot tea and stir to dissolve. (You can substitute stevia for sweetener.)
3. Squeeze the juice and pulp from two fresh lemons (or equivalent of Real Lemon juice).  Add to a small pitcher with one quart of cold water.
4. Grate one inch of fresh ginger root. (I use the smallest-sized side of the grater.) Add to the pitcher of lemon water.
5. Stir the hot tea and honey mixture into the pitcher.
6. Chill and serve over ice with a sprig of lemonbalm.

It's not only delicious, but very healthy.
