These iced tea mojitos combine brewed tea and mojito cocktails into one refreshing, thirst quenching summer beverage. As an added bonus, you’re consuming all the health benefits found in green tea, mint and lime juice.
Sometimes I have these moments where I think in my head “you know you’re a food blogger when….” As I was preparing these fun cocktails, I had such a moment because it was still pretty early in the day. Yes, you know you’re a food blogger when you’re making cocktails at ten in the morning and no one around you is concerned.
Confession. I’ve never been a huge fan of classic mojitos. I’m not much of a mint person and I find mojitos to be too minty for me. But a few years ago, I tried a green tea mojito and I loved it. The green tea really quenched my thirst and it cut into the mint flavor.
If you don’t like the taste of green tea, you can always replace with a different kind of tea. I chose green tea because of all the antioxidants and the pale color matches well with the other main ingredients.
These are so easy to make and are perfect for a hot summer day. You can make them for a party or for just a relaxing drink for yourself.
