Green Tea Arnold Palmer
Let’s talk Arnold Presses… I mean Arnold Palmers! Whenever I include Arnold Presses in my circuits, I inevitably misname them as Arnold Palmers. Maybe it’s my subconscious telling me to reward myself with a refreshing, ice-cold drink after my workout…
An Arnold Palmer is a mix of lemonade and tea, two things I turn to frequently during the summer. Personally, the ideal Arnold Palmer is a combination of 1 unsweetened drink (tea) and 1 sweetened one (lemonade). If both were sweetened, that would be too much!
Here, I’ve put a spin on the traditional Arnold Palmer and used green tea instead of black tea- the green tea adds a lighter, floral note. You can “cold brew” your tea or use lemonade or green tea “ice cubes” (lifehack found here) to make the drink more concentrated.
Ingredients
- 2 cups lemonade (my recipe’s linked here!)
- 2-3 green tea bags
- 4 cups hot water
Directions
- Make the lemonade as is. The base recipe can be found here.
- Brew your tea according to manufacturer’s instructions. Set aside until room temperature (or even better, chilled!)
- In tall glasses, mix 1 part lemonade to 2 parts tea. Option to top with ice and mint. Enjoy!
I feel like the citrus in the lemonade and the green tea makes a ton of antioxidants. I’m in.
