Ingredients

2 servings

For the mint-lime tea

1 ½ cups water
2 green tea bags
Ingredient note
Pregnancy guidance caps caffeine at about 200 mg a day. This recipe has roughly 29 mg per serving.
½ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
3 tbsp maple syrup
1 cup ice cubes, divided

For the latte finish

1 cup milk, cold

For serving

2 lime slices (optional)
2 fresh mint sprigs (optional)

Instructions

1
Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Remove from the heat, add the tea bags and mint leaves, and steep for 4 minutes — the liquid should be a deep green-gold and smell strongly of mint.
2
Remove the tea bags and strain the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a heatproof measuring cup, pressing the mint leaves firmly to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids.
