Summer is here and so are the iced cool beverages. If you buy them on a daily basis the costs can add up. A brewed Iced Tea at Dunkin can easily cost you 99 cents (with coupon) and up. Not only are these commercial beverages loaded with too much sweetener, the bottled beverages are also loaded with High Fructose Corn syrup.

So, solution is to brew your own iced tea from home and save $$ and make it healthy with the following ingredients:

Ingredients:

5 Bags of Lipton cold brew ice tea bags or Green tea (any brand)
Lemon slices or Tangerine
12 oz Hot Water
2-3 T of Raw organic Honey or 5 sachets of Stevia to taste add more if needed

Ice cubes 

Filtered water 

A pitcher

Directions:

Brew tea in a Large glass container in hot water and tea bags for 5 minutes. Then remove tea bags, mix sugar or honey until dissolved and pour into another glass container filled with ice. Add lemon slices or tangerine. You can add some mint leaves for flavor.

If you have one of those recyclable Cold cup containers with straw, you can use it to bring to work. (They sell them at Starbucks or Bed Bath and Beyond)
