Copycat Starbucks "Citrus Defender" Tea Recipe - No Sugar Added

Prep Time 3 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 8 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 Teavana Jade Citrus Tea Bag (or any peppermint tea you have)
  • 1 Teavana Peach Tranquility Tea Bag (or any peach tea)
  • Pure Organic Lemon Juice (I prefer the Santa Cruz brand)
  • Monk Fruit Sweetener (natural safe sweetener with zero calories - perfect for those on Keto or low-carb diets)
  • Raw Honey (omit this if you're on Keto or low-carb diets)
  • Steamed Water

Instructions

  1. Fill large insulated or double-wall beverage container (Venti-size) about 3/4 way with boiled water.

  2. Add both tea bags and let steep for a few minutes.

  3. Add about 1/4 cup steamed pure organic lemon juice (or rest of the 1/4 volume of the beverage size, almost topping it off).

  4. Add 3 TBSP (or more if desired) of monk fruit sweetener and stir.

  5. Add generous amount of raw organic honey (if desired OR omit if on Keto) and stir well.

  6. Let cool a little bit and then sip and enjoy.  You want to drink it as warm as you can stand it but not hot.  Be careful.
