🌿 Cold Brew Energy Tea with Ginger & Citrus

Ingredients:

2 Energy tea sachets (or 2 heaping teaspoons if using loose blend)

2 cups cold filtered water

2 thin slices of fresh ginger

Juice of ½ an orange

Juice of ¼ of a lemon

1–2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup (optional)

Ice cubes

Fresh mint or orange peel for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Cold Infuse the Tea
Place the Energy tea, fresh ginger slices, and cold water in a mason jar or jug. Cover and refrigerate for 6–8 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors gently infuse.

Add Citrus Brightness
After steeping, strain the tea and discard the tea leaves and ginger. Stir in the orange and lemon juice for a citrusy lift.

Sweeten to Taste
If you like a touch of sweetness, stir in honey or maple syrup while the tea is still cold—it adds a gentle balance to the spice.

Serve it Up
Pour over ice in your favorite glass. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a strip of orange zest for that extra touch.
