Notes

Pro Tips

  • Use fresh lime juice for the cleanest flavor and best balance.
  • Brew the tea strong so it doesn’t get lost behind the citrus.
  • Cool the tea fully before shaking to avoid dilution.
  • Shake longer than usual to get that crisp, icy texture.
  • Double strain if your tea leaves any small particles behind.
  • Chill your glass so the drink stays cold longer.
  • Taste and adjust before serving if your limes are extra sour.
