Mmmmm green tea! This stuff is amazing and I wanted to make it extra amazing today with some blackberries and lemon.  Topped off with some sparkling water, it’s beyond refreshing and has tons of health benefits.  For example:

  • It has loads of antioxidants – the stuff that is supposed to keep your cells healthy and decrease your risk of cancer.
  • It boosts your metabolism.
  • It’s hydrating!
And as for the blackberries and lemons, well they add even more anti-oxidants and metabolism boosters.  Yummy!
But really, I just like the taste a lot.  And it was pretty warm out by the pool today so a little refreshment was in order.  I’m sorry to everyone that lives where it’s snowing right now, I just can’t help myself.  Don’t worry though, I’ll be moving to San Francisco soon where the bay keeps it chilly almost all the time, so come fall I will be wearing jackets, boots, scarves…the works.  Or maybe during the summer too since my blood is so thin after 5 years in south Florida.  Yikes!

But I digress…there are lots of options for sweetening this particular mix of green tea if you want more than what the blackberries will give you.  You can use flavored sparkling water if you find something with berry or blackberry flavor that you like.  Or you can add some Truvia when the tea is still hot or use a little of something pictured after the recipe.

If you don’t want to use Truvia to sweeten or think there’s not quite enough flavor for you, try adding a couple squirts of this stuff! Or you could use blackberry vodka.  If that’s the kind of mood you’re in 🙂
