During the dog days of summer staying hydrated is a must.  And, I can’t think of a better way to cool down that by sipping on this Ginger Lemon Tea Chiller.

It’s so refreshing and I love the hint of ginger flavor.  I’ve found myself making big batches of this mocktail and enjoying it all day long.

There’s no need to spend money on coffee-shop iced beverages when this one is so easy to make at home.  It’s perfect to sip by the pool, while running errands or at summer get-togethers.

It starts with your Keurig brewer!  Keurig brewers are so versatile that they can brew cold summer drinks over ice in addition to hot coffee.

I used the Celestial Seasonings Half & Half Brew Over Ice K-Cups for this recipe.  It’s half tea and half lemonade.  I love lemon.  Whenever I order a drink, I usually ask for extra lemon.  I was so excited to find this option available in K cups!  If you’ve never had the half and half combo you really must try it!  It’s the best of both worlds.  It’s like iced tea on lemon steroids!

I found the K-Cups at my local Wal-Mart.  There were in the coffee aisle but there was also a K-Cup display on one of the end caps too.

I also just learned that Keurig has it’s own recycling program for K-Cups. The Grounds To Grow program offers a way for K-Cup users to return used cups for processing that separates grounds for compost and plastics for re-use.  Pretty neat, huh?!

To make this beverage, I brewed 2 cups of Celestial Seasonings Half & Half Brew Over Ice.  I brewed mine right into a measuring cup to make sure I had just the right amount.

Once the tea was brewed, I crushed about 2 cups of ice in my blender.

Next, I poured the tea and remaining ingredients over the ice and stirred until it was thoroughly combined.  That’s it.  Easy as pie!

Since I was going to be outdoors, I poured mine into these super cute plastic hurricane glasses.  This way I didn’t have to worry about it breaking into a million shards of glass.

I highly recommend whipping up this refreshing beverage immediately!  The handy printable recipe is below!
