After seeing a recipe onRecipezaar for Green Tea with Rose Water, I was compelled to make my own version. This iced tea combines rose water (pink) and lime (green) with green tea to make a fresh iced drink with an interesting twist. Rose water is typically used in Middle Eastern-style cooking, so whip up this drink, take a sip, and image yourself in an exotic cafe far, far away.
2 green teabags
1 cup water
1/2 tsp rose water
1 tsp honey
1 tsp fresh lime juice
lime slices, for garnish
Bring water to a boil and add teabags. Steep 3 minutes and remove. Stir in rose water, honey, and lime juice.
Fill a large glass with ice. Pour tea over ice and add lime slices. Pop in a sprig of mint, if desired. Sip slowly and enjoy!
