Make your skin glow from the inside out with this immunity-boosting Mint Blueberry Iced Tea!

A glass of iced green tea is more than just refreshing — it’s full of powerful antioxidants that help build immunity and reduce skin inflammation.

Instead of indulging in the sugary teas you’ll find at many coffee shops, you can easily make your own healthy sweet tea at home. This recipe uses a homemade syrup of blueberries and honey. Blueberries are high in antioxidants so you get a double health benefit when combining them with green tea!

To start, simply brew a hot cup of green tea and pour that delectable blueberry sauce over it in a pitcher with some ice. It’s recommended to chill the two together in a pitcher for a minimum of 10 minutes to let the flavors marry. The longer they chill, the more intense the taste!

To transform this energizing tea into a beauty concoction, add sliced cucumber and mint leaves when you’re about to drink it. Sip your beauty tea any time of the day, or serve as a non-alcoholic party drink.

Tip: You can use maple syrup, coconut sugar, or stevia in place of the honey in the recipe.
