PINEAPPLE ORANGE GREEN TEA

Home brewed Pineapple Orange Green Tea is crisp and cool with a hint of citrus and pineapple to get you ready for spring! Serve as is for a family friendly St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, or Mother’s Day drink or sassify it w/ a shot of rum or Irish whiskey.
Here is my contribution to the St. Patrick’s Day and Irish themed recipes which are blowing up the blogosphere.
The hubs and I have been on a get healthy kick lately, and we are trying really hard to cut out all crap from our diet. Both of us have a pure love for zero calorie soft drinks (I know, I know, it’s horrible yet delicious), but we needed something to help us get over that 3 o’clock afternoon slump especially since Will is working nights right now.
Green tea has become our new obsession, and I can really tell a difference between getting our caffeine boost from organic, naturally sweetened products vs crappola out of a can sweetened w/ poison.

Ingredients

• 6 green tea bags
• 10 cups water divided
