Ingredients
Fruity Lemonade
Iced Tea
Smoothie
Fruity Lemonade
1. Juicing the Lemons
Cut the lemons in half and juice them to extract the lemon juice. You should have about 1 cup of lemon juice.
2. Mixing Ingredients
In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, and 4 cups of water. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
3. Adding Mint
Add the fresh mint leaves to the mixture for flavor. You can leave them whole or lightly muddle them to release more aroma.
4. Serving
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemonade over the ice. Garnish with additional mint leaves if desired and serve cold.
Iced Tea
5. Boiling Water
In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
6. Steeping Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add the black tea bags. Let them steep for 5-7 minutes depending on your desired strength.
7. Sweetening the Tea
After steeping, remove the tea bags and stir in 1 cup of sugar until dissolved. Let the tea cool to room temperature.
8. Adding Lemon Juice
Stir in the lemon juice for added flavor.
Smoothie
10. Preparing Ingredients
Peel the bananas and set them aside. Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly.
11. Blending
In a blender, combine the bananas, spinach, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and honey. Add the ice cubes last.
12. Blending Process
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
13. Serving
Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, you can garnish with a slice of banana or a sprig of mint.
