Green Tea Lemonade

Green Tea Lemonade

This has been a favorite drink of mine for many years. I would order it unsweetened with 2 stevias. I recently learned that they use sweetened lemonade to make the drink. So, I set out to re-create it. Stevia drops and Tazo Green Tea are the perfect combo.

Green tea with lemon is a timeless healing combo that’s as soothing as it is powerful. This duo blends two natural wellness staples, creating a drink that supports your body on multiple levels.

I find that making it first thing in the morning is the best way to go. I then will put it in the refrigerator or in a to go cup if I have a busy day.

Here are the top benefits of green tea with lemon and why it deserves a place in your daily ritual:


🍵 GREEN TEA

Rich in antioxidants, especially catechins like EGCG, which boost metabolism and increase fat burning

Supports brain health by improving focus, memory, and cognitive function

Enhances heart health by lowering LDL cholesterol and blood pressure

Provides a gentle energy boost without the crash (thanks to its balance of caffeine and L-theanine)

Anti-inflammatory and detoxifying, helping the body clear out toxins naturally


🍋 LEMON JUICE

High in vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system and improves skin health

Stimulates digestion and helps alkalize the body, even though it’s acidic outside the body

Supports liver function and acts as a gentle, natural detoxifier

Helps regulate blood sugar levels and reduce hunger cravings


🍯 NATURAL SWEETENERS

Stevia: Zero calories, doesn’t spike blood sugar, safe for those watching weight or blood sugar

Honey (especially raw): Rich in antioxidants, supports gut health, and provides natural antimicrobial benefits

Agave: Low-glycemic sweetener (although best used minimally), adds a natural sweetness

 

🍵+🍋 THE MAGIC OF DRINKING GREEN TEA AND LEMON TOGETHER

When these ingredients are combined, you get a powerful synergy that:

  • Boosts your metabolism naturally without harsh stimulants 🔥
  • Supports fat burning and weight loss efforts 💪
  • Enhances digestion and detoxification pathways (especially liver and kidneys) 🍃
  • Balances energy levels gently, keeping you focused and vibrant all day 🌞
  • Floods your body with antioxidants, reducing inflammation and protecting against cellular damage 🛡️
  • Helps curb sugar cravings and stabilize appetite

    Drinking this Green Tea Lemonade daily sets your body up for better digestion, more efficient fat burning, stable blood sugar, and a constant flood of hydrating, cleansing nutrients. It’s like a daily reset button for your metabolism, immunity, and energy!

    Align with the Energy of Spring with Tea

    Align with the Energy of Spring with Tea

    Spring is the season of awakening. After the stillness of winter, we begin to feel the soft stirrings of energy in our bodies, minds, and spirits. There’s a natural pull toward movement, renewal, and lightness—but for many of us, that shift doesn’t always feel easy. We carry stress, stagnation, and fatigue from months of cold, dark, and internal processing.
    This is where nature, once again, steps in to support us.
    In honor of Stress Awareness Month and the arrival of spring, let’s take a moment to align—gently, intentionally—with the energy of the season. One of the simplest and most beautiful ways to begin this alignment is with herbal tea.
    Below are three powerful, accessible herbs to support your spring reset:

    🌿 Nettle – Nourish & Strengthen

    Often overlooked as a “weed,” nettle is one of the most mineral-rich plants on the planet. It’s loaded with iron, magnesium, calcium, and vitamin C—making it perfect for replenishing the body after a sluggish winter.
    Benefits of Nettle Tea:
    Gently detoxifies the blood and lymph
    Reduces inflammation
    Strengthens hair, skin, and nails
    Supports adrenal function and hormone balance
    💚 Nettle is a wonderful tonic herb—it builds you up instead of breaking you down.

    🌼 Dandelion Root – Release & Renew

    Dandelion helps us let go. Just like the wind carries away its seeds, dandelion invites your body to release what it no longer needs—especially through the liver and digestive system.
    Benefits of Dandelion Root Tea:
    Stimulates liver function
    Improves digestion and nutrient absorption
    Supports natural detoxification
    Aids in reducing water retention
    💛 This is a beautiful tea to drink when you’re feeling heavy or stuck—physically or emotionally.

    🍋 Lemon Balm – Calm & Uplift

    Known as the “gladdening herb,” lemon balm is perfect for spring’s emotional rollercoaster. As energy picks up, our nervous systems can feel overwhelmed. Lemon balm offers gentle, heart-centered calm.

    Benefits of Lemon Balm Tea:

    • Eases anxiety and emotional stress

    • Supports better sleep

    • Boosts mood and mental clarity

    • Soothes digestive discomfort

    🌼 Lemon balm is like a hug in a cup—ideal for sensitive souls navigating seasonal change.

    🌸 A Simple Tea Ritual to Align with Spring

    Set aside 10–15 minutes to sit with your tea—no phone, no distractions. As you sip, breathe deeply and slowly. Invite your body to soften.
    Ask yourself:
    📝 “What am I ready to release?”
    📝 “What do I want to welcome in this season?”

    This small act of presence can be the most powerful alignment of all.

    🌿 Final Thoughts

    Your spring reset doesn’t need to be a full detox, a strict routine, or a major lifestyle overhaul. It can start with a cup of tea. With intention. With presence. With the healing support of plants that have grown through the same cycles you’re moving through now.

    So today, choose a tea that calls to you—nettle for strength, dandelion for release, or lemon balm for calm—and let that be your gentle beginning.

    Because healing doesn’t always mean doing more. Sometimes, it simply means realigning with the rhythm of the Earth.
