Honey Green Tea Sparkler

By dgebo

This is a refreshing and healthful alternative to soda. If using green tea bags, use twelve or more. You can make all sorts of variations. Use any type of green tea you like, and family favorites like cranberry, all-natural lemonage, peach, oragne, grapefruit, pineapple, and blueberry. Try black tea with cherry juice for a tasty quencher. Make some into ice cubes to use when chilling tea. San Pellegrino mineral water from Italy is a natural source of calcium.
