Great Lakes Limeade is a refreshing summer drink with a heavy dark pu-erh base, grounded with dark brown sugar and balanced perfectly with a squeeze of lime!
This recipe makes one tall Great Lakes Limeade (16oz)
First, brew one cup (8oz) of Great Lakes Pu-erh using the following method:
Steep 1/2 tbsp of leaves in 8 ounces of 205ºF water for 10 minutes.
The next step is to add one tablespoon of dark brown sugar to the hot tea and stir until dissolved.
After you have your cup of double-strength hot sweet tea, take a 16oz glass and fill it 2/3rds of the way with ice. After that, pour the 8 ounces of hot sweet tea over the ice and stir it up. Make sure to add the ice and then quickly pour the tea in before the glass gets cold, as quick temperature changes can cause the glass to crack.
Finally, squeeze 1/2 of a lime into the glass, top off with cold water, stir and enjoy outside, immersed in nature! :-)
Happy drinking!
