Celebrate National Lemonade Day Sweet Leaf Tea Style

AUSTIN, TX, August 21, 2010

There is never a bad time to enjoy a nice glass of delicious and refreshing, homemade lemonade. This August 20th, in celebration of National Lemonade Day, Sweet Leaf Tea is giving the loved beverage the recognition it deserves, by offering a couple easy-to-make recipes that can be enjoyed using the already amazing Sweet Leaf Tea Organic Original Lemonade.

For centuries lemonade has been an American drink of choice for the summer, so it is no wonder that this tasty beverage would be celebrated in the last few weeks of the season. While there are countless lemonade recipes to choose from, Sweet Leaf Tea suggests toasting to this day, and cool thirst quencher, with the following fun recipes:

Strawberry Lemonade Chiller (nonalcoholic):
- 1/2 cup of fresh strawberries
- 1 cup of ice
- 1 bottle of Sweet Leaf Tea Organic Original Lemonade
Cut strawberries into pieces. Combine lemonade and strawberries in a blender and blend until most of the pieces have been liquefied. Add ice and blend to your liking. For an extra kick, top the drink off with a sprig of mint.

Ginger Shandy (alcoholic or nonalcoholic):
- 1 bottle of ginger beer
- 1/2 a cup of gin
- 1 cup of Sweet Leaf Tea Organic Original Lemonade
Mix ingredients and serve chilled in a pint glass. Garnish beverage with a slice of lemon. For the nonalcoholic version mix all ingredients except the gin.

While either of these are sure to elicit a satisfying "ahhhh" upon first sip, for those who may not have the time to mix their own beverage the Sweet Leaf Tea Organic Original Lemonade makes for a great way to enjoy National Lemonade Day all its own. Made with organic lemons and the best organic cane sugar, this zesty drink is just the right amount of fresh and sweet to make for an unmistakable instant classic.
