Teavana Shaken Iced Green Tea Lemonade
If you are a connoisseur of the traditional lemonade, but on the other hand you are someone who is always on a quest for more sophisticated and more involve mixology, I strongly recommend you try the Shaken Iced Green Tea Lemonade from Teavana. It will blow your mind, for sure! If I look at my lemonade and green tea mix to which the taste buds react so favorably, drunkening a refreshing sour as well as a mildly green earthy flavor of tea, then,….
What I adore in this alluring curative drink is its unexpected stomach pleasing taste. This green tea is just sippable in that it blends rather than overwhelms the fresh lemon tastes. It becomes a standard drink in any event when you get that evil feeling of being overheated and want to doze off a bit but your prime goal is vitality, not unconsciousness.
