Easy Orange Lemon Green Iced Tea recipe. Made with only 4 ingredients, this is the perfect simple drink for a hot summer day.
It’s getting HOT in Chicago!
People are always warning me about the weather in Chicago. One day it’s freezing cold. The next day you can’t even stand in one place for 5 minutes without getting a sun burn.
But whatever the weather, I think I will appreciate coming home to this Orange Lemon Green Iced Tea waiting for me in the fridge.
This drink is so easy to make, I might have to triple it and make a new batch every week. All you need is:
- green tea bags
- lemon juice
- orange juice
- stevia
- ice & water
That’s it!
This recipe is probably the one thing that’s stopping me from buying $1 drinks from McDonalds. It is just so tempting to buy from there on an extremely hot day when drinks are that cheap.
So here’s to me being healthier (and saving that extra couple of dollars a week) by making my drinks at home.
If you are looking for another good iced drink recipe to cool you off this summer, might I suggest my Honey Green Tea Lemonade. It’s another way I save my money, as I am known to buy them almost daily in the summer from Starbucks.

Chicago weather sounds similar to Scottish Highland weather! This green tea drink is so refreshing on the frequent heat wave days we have been currently experiencing. Love it!
Yes so good for that 🙂
I love refreshing drinks like this during the summer! Especially if it has citrus. Lovely flavor and so easy to make.
