A quick, refreshing, frugal alternative to store-bought drinks.
Ingredients
1 litre (or quart) of good tap or filtered water
1 mint tea bag (I use Celestial Seasonings)
6 saccharin tablets (I use Hermesetas)
Instructions
Add tea bag and saccharin tablets to a one litre (or quart) glass jar.
Pour cold water into the jar.
Wait a few minutes for the saccharin tablets to dissolve, then stir to distribute.
It is ready to drink in about 10 minutes.
Remove the tea bag after one day. Keeps for 2-3 days refrigerated
Notes
1. substitute 2 tbsp. honey for the saccharin; mix with hot water first to dissolve before adding to the glass jar, then top up the jar with tap water;
2. add the juice of half a lemon for extra zing and vitamin C (my favourite);
3. add ⅛ tsp of sea salt to replace your electrolytes
