My Version of Emerald Tea

This is a healthy but refreshing beverage. I like to add sparkling water, but it would also work with soda water, lemonade and maybe even prosecco! Feel free to play around with the ingredients, maybe adding more lime or more maple syrup, to your taste.

Servings: 3-4

Time: 10 minutes

 

Ingredients

½ cucumber, chopped

½ - 1 inch piece of ginger

Zest of 1 lime

Juice 3 limes

4 tablespoons maple syrup

50-100ml cold water (this is just to help the mix blend)

1 tablespoon matcha tea (optional)

Handful spinach (optional)

Sparkling water

 

Method

1.     Simply blend everything but the sparkling water. You may need to add a little cold flat water to help it blend.

2.     Pour about 100ml of the tea mixture into a tall glass, along with 300ml of sparkling water. Mix well and enjoy! If it’s not sweet enough you can always add a drizzle of maple syrup to each glass and perhaps an ice cube or two in the summer.
