Good morning steemit! I just spend a few days on an island without internet.... good friends, good food, sun and tons of fun. I feel totally reloaded.

Unfortunately, our time is coming to an end. My friends are flying back to Belgium tomorrow. After that, it's back to work. Exciting times and a lot of work coming up as we are opening a bakery (a good friend and baker from Belgium is moving here and we are teaming up) and a small cafe that will serve organic, healthy (mainly vegan) snacks, breakfast, and lunches.

But let's talk iced lemon tea. As you know I am all up for homemade, healthy, sugar-free and unprocessed foods and drinks. So I just made a batch of fresh iced lemon tea to serve my friends today.

Here are a few pics of the island

Refreshing Homemade Iced Lime Tea ☀️ ☀️ ☀️


Ingredients


2-3 tbsp dried Cambodian jasmine green tea

2 tbsp dried goji berries
1 tsp fresh turmeric and ginger
2 limes, quartered
1.5-2 cups boiling water
Cold water + ice cubes to cool

Directions


  1. Make a small strong pot of tea (or one to two cups). You can find everything we used to steep the tea in the ingredients list above. Allow steeping for 10 minutes.
  2. In a big jar, add cooled water and ice cubes. Mix with the small pot steeped strong tea and pour into glasses or store in the fridge.
    FYI: I don't like icy cold drinks, but you can put extra ice in your glass too!
