4 cups limeade

Chill an hour or until cold. Serve in tall glasses over ice.

*Preparation Tips*

--Unlike black teas, green teas should not be brewed with boiling water. Pour the water just as the first little bubbles start to rise, or, bring to a boil, remove from heat and let it stand two or three minutes, then pour over tea leaves. Steep for 4 minutes. Do not oversteep or it will become bitter!

--Double strength would be 6 grams of tea per 6 oz of water, or about 1 oz of tea per 16 oz of water. Regular strength is about a rounded teaspoonful (regular teaspoon, not a measuring spoon) per cup. Those measures are approximate because different grades and types of teas have different leaf sizes and vary somewhat in their measurements.

--You don't need the very best quality tea you can find, but it should be complex and rather full-flavored or it will just taste like tangy limeade. Different types of jasmine tea have different ratios of flowery to green taste, it is a matter of personal preference which predominant flavor you prefer.

--This tastes best with fresh good quality ades like Odwalla brand, but you could use a good frozen concentrate as long as it isn't too sweet--adjust the sugar measurements if needed. Or make your own fresh if you have an abundance of limes and lemons!
