When the summer sun is at its peak, there’s nothing better than a cool, refreshing drink to help you stay energized and hydrated. We love Sunshine Citrus Tea, a vibrant blend that’s as bright and uplifting as a summer afternoon.
Made with antioxidant-rich green tea, freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice, and lightly sweetened with honey, this simple yet flavorful tea is the perfect way to beat the heat. Hydrating and naturally calming, green tea offers a soothing boost, even with its gentle caffeine and especially when paired with citrus. Serve it over ice for a crisp, zesty sip that’s both comforting and revitalizing.

Preparation
