Every morning after my breakfast for the past few years I have been drinking green tea. I really enjoy a cup even in summer. Every where I look on the internet at the moment is cold brew coffee. To be honest I used to be a coffee drink but nowadays I prefer my herbal teas. Then I thought about turning my green tea cold.
The thought was a little obscure but I decided to roll with it. I felt that lavender and lemon might go well in a cold brew green tea. The results of this experiment were amazing. The cold tea was refreshing and awakening as well as being smoothing. A great way to start my day and I hope it will be a good way to start your day too. Below is a video and recipe for you.
