Iced Green Tea with Raw Honey

I love Starbucks iced green tea (sweetened). If I'm there it's been my regular order. But I'm sure the sweetener in them is junk and the cost to make it is practically pennies! So...I just started making it myself. I cut the refined sugar and added raw honey. I think this one beats the flavor of the Starbucks version too! It's also a yummy drink to brew for a summer party or shower. It's light, sweet and refreshing. Here's the easy recipe.

12 cups water
12 green tea bags (I use jasmine green)
1/2-2/3 cup raw honey (add more if you're from the south,  :)

Place tea bags in water and bring to a medium boil. Once water boils let tea bags sit 1 minute with heat turned off. Take bags out and add honey, stir until melted and mixed in. Let cool on stove 15+ minutes. Store in pitcher and serve 8.oz of tea to 8.oz of ice. 

 Enjoy!
