Lemongrass Green Tea Cider

Do you want a light and effervescent cocktail to share with family and friends? Lemongrass green tea cider is it, trust me. It’s a simple mix of sweetened lemongrass green tea and a light cider.

Lemongrass green tea cider works on so many levels. It’s light in taste, low in alcohol content, and the ingredients are relatively inexpensive. So what we have here is a very palatable cocktail, that doesn’t render you and your guests pie-eyed after a couple of drinks, and is very easy on the pocket. How wonderful is that? Lemongrass green tea cider is stacking up to be a  spectacular beverage – don’t you agree?

We all know the benefits of green tea, the contained antioxidants are purported to fight cancer, lower cholesterol, help prevent cardiovascular disease, aid brain activity, and can fight against the damages of a high fat diet. Lemongrass also has its benefits when drank in tea form. It aids digestion, cleanses and detoxifies, helps ward off colds and flu, and the contained antioxidants are also purported to lower cholesterol and fight cancer.

Once lemongrass green tea is mixed with cider, perhaps it isn’t as beneficial as compared to drinking it by itself, but regardless lemongrass green tea cider is a really nice option compared to other cocktails.

If you haven’t come across lemongrass green tea before, I can recommend Traditional Medicinals Organic Green Tea Lemongrass. Also, check out “How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Tea” to learn how to brew Traditional Medicinals tea correctly, and make sure to explore their website to see what other teas Traditional Medicinals have to offer.

I found the cider on Freshdirect, it’s a really nice light cider, Bordelet Sidre Tendre, any cider will do though.

I served lemongrass green tea cider a couple of weeks ago at a wedding dress fitting. My friend is getting married in October. Her dress is lovely and fits her really well, but I cannot go into much more detail on the dress as her husband reads my blog! 

My guests loved their lemongrass green tea ciders, yes, “ciders”. They had quite a few that evening, as I am sure your guests will too. Get your ingredients the next time you go shopping, and do a test run over the weekend. You’ll love it.
