If you're trying to lose weight, one place to start is eliminating soft drinks from your diet. With the warm summer month just ahead of us, this may not be as easy as it sounds. Soft drinks (even the diet ones) are habit forming and are difficult to avoid. However, these drinks are not made from natural ingredients. This recipe for all-natural iced tea will provide you with a much healthier, refreshing alternative. It contains only basic ingredients and uses agave syrup instead of sugar.
Ingredients5 tbsp instant tea
1 lemon
4 tbsp light agave syrup
water
Preparation- Add the tea to a regular sized pitcher.
- Add the light agave syrup.
- Pour 2 cups of hot water into the pitcher and stir so that the tea and syrup dissolve.
- Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice from each half into the pitcher.
- Drop the used halves of the lemon into the pitcher.
- Fill the remainder of the pitcher with cold water.
- Serve with ice.
Note: If you plan to store the ice tea longer than a couple of hours, remove the used halves of lemon from the pitcher before you put it in the refrigerator.
