Iced Jasmine Lime Cooler Recipe

Nothing refreshes like a cool, tart beverage. That’s because the acidity of those drinks stimulates salivation, soothing the dry mouth that accompanies thirst. Lemonade is a perennial favorite, but limes are our go-to for a thirst-quenching punch of flavor. The floral notes of our Organic Spring Jasmine tea take workaday limeade in a decidedly tropical direction, so kick back and take a tiny vacation in a glass.  

For this recipe, we use freshly made limeade for the brightest flavor, but store-bought will work fine. 

Iced Jasmine Lime Cooler 

Makes enough for 2 coolers

Limeade ingredients:

• 1 cup plus 2 cups freshly drawn water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup lime juice (from 4-6 standard limes)

Cooler ingredients: 

• 12 oz. freshly drawn water
• 2 pouches Organic Spring Jasmine tea
• 8 oz. limeade 
• Ice

Make the limeade: 

1. Heat 1 cup water and the sugar in a small saucepan, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow to cool completely. 
2. Add in the lime juice and stir to combine. 
3. Add the remaining water, starting with 1 cup, until it reaches the level of tartness you like. Remember, you can always add more water later, but you can’t take it away. 
4. Store limeade in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. This recipe makes up to a quart of limeade. 

Make the cooler:

1. Bring the water to a full boil, remove from heat, and let stand for a minute. 
2. Add the Organic Spring Jasmine tea pouch and steep for 4 min. Remove the pouch, squeezing to extract all liquid.
3. Allow infusion to cool completely. 
4. Add the limeade and stir to combine. 
5. Add ice to 2 tumblers. Pour the cooler into the glasses, and garnish with lime wheel. Serve immediately.
