Print Recipe

A refreshing and energizing homemade energy drink with natural ingredients like green tea, lime juice, honey, and guarana powder. Perfect for a natural caffeine boost without the jitters.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) brewed strong green tea
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or agave nectar
  • 1/2 teaspoon guarana powder (optional)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) chilled carbonated water
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • Vitamin B12 drops or powder (optional, a few drops or 1/4 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Brew the green tea by bringing 1 cup (240 ml) of water to a boil, then steep 1 green tea bag or 1 teaspoon loose green tea for 3-4 minutes. Remove the tea bag or strain leaves and let cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  2. Juice fresh limes to get 1/4 cup (60 ml) of lime juice. Grate about 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger. Strain the ginger pulp if a smoother drink is preferred.
  3. In a pitcher or bowl, combine the brewed green tea, fresh lime juice, grated ginger, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of honey or agave nectar until fully dissolved. If using guarana powder, add 1/2 teaspoon now and whisk thoroughly to avoid clumps.
  5. Chill the mixture in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until completely cool.
  6. Gently stir in 1 cup (240 ml) of chilled carbonated water to add fizz, being careful not to stir too vigorously to keep bubbles intact.
  7. Add a few drops or 1/4 teaspoon of Vitamin B12 supplement if desired and whisk in.
  8. Serve immediately over ice cubes and garnish with a lime wedge if desired.

Notes

Use freshly squeezed lime juice for best flavor. Adjust sweetness to taste with honey, agave, or maple syrup. For caffeine-free, omit green tea and guarana and use hibiscus tea instead. To keep fizz, add carbonated water just before serving. If guarana powder clumps, dissolve first in a small amount of warm water.
