Iced Green Tea Chai


I love iced drinks. Always have. I was once known as the beverage queen. If you opened my refrigerator all you would see were condiments and drinks and maybe some teeth whitener. My poor mom when she would come to visit, would joke that she was on the McLean starvation diet. I did eat. I just did not keep food in my house. Or much food. But always beverage, and lots of em’. I did not always feel “safe” having food around which is “normal” if you have issues with eating, and therefore food. But thats a whole other topic altogether. My point today is that its awesome to have yummy cold drinks on hand for when the desire strikes. I must admit that I have spent too much money this summer on iced green tea lemonades at Starbucks. I just want big cold drinks all of the time. And while pregnant, it really hits the spot. Iced drinks and smoothies are two of my very favorite things. This morning on my way out to temple, I brewed a few cups of green tea chai, added a bit of agave, then poured some over ice for the road and put the rest in the fridge. It is extremely low in caffeine but gives you the taste of subtle yummy chai. Its the Yogi Tea brand. Happy drinking it right now. Have a lovely Sunday everyone!
