the lime in winter

While most of the world around you is sniffling and snuffling with winter colds and sipping hot beverages, why not mentally travel elsewhere (like an island paradise) via a hot steamy shower and a glass of the following limey iced green tea?  (Coconut oil lotion and sounds of the rainforest and/or tropical beach waves CD backdrop highly encouraged.)

1 large glass full of ice
1 cup strongly steeped green tea
1 tablespoon raw sugar or 1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 
lime wedge

Add lime juice to the green tea and stir.  Pour over ice and garnish with lime wedge; sweeten with raw sugar or honey to taste.
