Arizona Iced Tea... Healthy Style




For those of you who haven't seen me on my agave syrup soapbox, this is your chance!

Agave syrup is basically the best stuff on earth. It is a sugar substitute that does not spike your blood sugar (so it's good for you) and it's made from a cactus that grows in very dry conditions (so it's good for the earth). We use it every day in our coffee, but have been actively seeking other ways to use it.

Today, we figured it out. We brewed some iced tea using Stash Tea's "Moroccan Mint Green Tea", and the flavor was so close to Arizona Iced Tea that we thought... why not sweeten it and make it into the real deal? So we used a dash of agave per glass. Awesomeness ensued.

So, hopefully, my soapbox has inspired you to seek out some agave of your own. Get it at Trader Joe's (for cheap) or at Whole Foods (for lots of money).
