Cooling Cucumber Melon Appetite Suppressant Cocktail

I don’t know about you but heat and I do not mix. I like it cool and breezy. I have a secret weapon to combat the hot weather- iced Jade. Not only does it suppress my appetite so I stay looking sexy in my bikini but it chills me down when the sun is at its max.

To spruce things up a bit tea cocktails are fun to make, especially for summer parties. Here is a recipe of a favorite of mine. jade tea leaves in a box It is great with or without alcohol.

Appetite Suppressant Cocktail

Ingredients:

4 Cups of boiling water
2 Jade tea bags
3 Tbsp. honey or liquid stevia (to reduce calories)
1/2 cucumber (peeled and chopped)
Juice of one Lemon
Optional Hennessy Cognac

Directions:

Steep your Jade tea bags in your boiling water for about five minutes. Remove bags and add your honey and stir to dissolve.
Refrigerate Jade for at least 4 hours until chilled. If pressed for time just add ice cubes to chill but this will dilute the tea.
In a mason jar or cocktail shaker muddle together your cucumber and lemon to combine flavors. Add in the Hennessy if you wish. Really mash that cucumber to get all the juices out of it!
Strain the lemon juice and cucumber juice into the Jade tea and stir to combine.
Serve over crushed ice and garnish with lots of fresh cucumber and lemon slices!
