I like to make sun tea. Just put green tea bags and your favorite sweetener in a big glass jar and fill with cold water. Place in the sun for several hours, then refridgerate. I like to add fresh mint, or squeeze an orange into it (I hate lemons).

Here is another option. We make this at our house through the summer, but I have substituted 1 c lemon juice from the bottle when I don’t have lemons, and 1 tsp stevia for the syrup. The drink is nice and puckery without using sugar or syrup from our stash. It takes forever to make a pint of that stuff, so we save it for breakfast.

I just wanted to add something about your lemonade recipe. You can substitute REAL maple syrup for the agave and you have the perfect electrolyte replacement when your kids, hubby, or yourself have worked up a sweat in the yard or playing sports. It is such a great replacer for Gatorade or other sports drinks. I LOVE my homemade maple lemonade. I have used limes as well. It is delicious!! Try it and let me know what you think. :)
I wanted to tell you Laura that I think you are awesome!! I found your site tonight while looking for a healthy graham cracker recipe to make with my kids. I have 4 kids as well and am expecting #5. I am also very health conscious of what my family eats. I am not perfect, but I do my best to give them the best that’s available. Thank you for your wonderful site. I will be back again and again!! :)

Last week I tried a few homemade batches of iced tea combinations – my family wasn’t overly impressed with my creations. The only one everyone liked was green tea bags and organic honey. So simple.

Your beverage options sound just like ours. We actually had friends over last week who wound up bringing their own drinks, because they knew we only kept water and milk in the house. I can’t wait to try out this new recipe!
