Herbal Tea Lemonade

 + Herbal Tea Lemonade a Starbucks Knockoff +

Herbal-tea-lemonade-from-WhipperBerry-8

I am a HUGE lemonade addict… Yes, it’s that serious. I would rather drink lemonade than any other beverage on the planet. There is just something special about that sweet pucker of lemon flavor that I just adore. I tend to like my lemonade high on the pucker meeter, leaning more for the tart rather than the sweet.

As much as I love regular, fresh squeezed lemonade I don’t love all the calories and sugar that come along with that. I tend to keep the good stuff only for special occasions. Starbucks has a shaken lemonade that I just adore. It’s a combination of herbal tea and lemonade and it’s divine.  Again, this is more of a drink reserved for special times due to the sugar content and the high price tag.  Soooo, what’s a girl to do when she has a craving for Starbucks shaken Passion Tea Lemonade… I DIY it of course!

I have experimented with a few different flavors on top of the Passion tea and have found three that I just love. Celestial Seasonings Country Peach Passion is my all time favorite paired with lemonade and then my other two favorites are Tazo Passion and Vanilla Rooibos Parfait.

I brew up some tea using two tea bags, steeped in roughly two cups of hot water. Then I transfer the tea to a bottle and add more water until the bottle is full. My bottles hold a little more than 1 quart of liquid. If your container is larger, you may want to steep more than 2 tea bags.

To make the herbal tea lemonade, fill a large glass or jar with ice and a single serving Crystal Light lemonade packet…

Then I pour the tea over the lemonade mix and the ice, stir and enjoy!

My all time favorite herbal tea lemonade is the peach tea mixed with raspberry lemonade… To die for flavor!! What I love about this drink is the burst of fruit flavor without any of the guilt!!  What are your favorite flavor combinations?

    I loved this posting. I live at least an hour away from any Starbucks, so trips there are are rare and special. Coffee has always been my choice, but now I’ll think about the lemonade. I’ve been making herbal ice tea ever since my daughter brought some herbal peach tea bags up to our cabin. Now I will experiment with combining it with lemonade. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Love this post. I’m totally with you on this one, my number one rule is to not drink my calories.
    (Since I obviously consume enough calories from sugar alone.)

    I love making drinks with Crystal Light; it’s like my little secret. (My friends laugh at me when I pull out Crystal Light when we’re drinking LOL) My favorite combination is the original lemonade + sparkling water + a muddled strawberry or watermelon. So good.

    That peach tea + lemonade combination seems crazy good. Going to have to try that one soon!

    P.S. Your glass bottles are so beautiful.

    Where did you get your bottles? Specifically the one without the red rubber top?

      I believe I found that one at Sur La Table. The other’s were from IKEA.
