Your Frozen Tea Treat Recipe 

Green Tea Fruit Smoothie

A day prior make a batch of green tea ice cubes with your favorite green tea. Brew the tea a little stronger than you normally would.

To make the smoothie:

5 green tea ice cubes

1/2 cup plain yogurt or kephir / kefir

1/2 banana

1/2 peach, sliced

1/2 cup blueberries or strawberries

Blend together in blender, garnish with a few more berries and enjoy.

Your Inspiration 

I enjoy the innate combination of fruit and tea. Certain fruits really bring out the flavors of tea, I believe that is captured here.

Of course, summer and sunshine provide the perfect inspiration to enjoy both your favorite tea and fruit.

Advice 

  • I prefer to use a Chinese green tea for this recipe.
