How to Make Lemongrass, Mint & Lime Ice-Tea

This refreshing ice-tea recipe is an easy-to-make Osa favorite! Enjoy!

This is a delicious, refreshing, home-made ice-tea that is the perfect drink on a hot afternoon....especially after a awe-inspiring, heart-pounding nature hike or an epic surf session!

If it's cocktail hour, the ice-tea makes an excellent base for a tropical cocktail. Just add rum!

It's easy to make and I recommend making a double recipe. You can easily keep it in the refrigerator and make some tea ice-cubes in the freezer.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 cups water

• 1/4 cup honey (optional)
