2 organic green tea bags
2 organic hibiscus tea bags (coconut hibiscus, strawberry hibiscus, plain, or a mix)
8 ounces boiling purified or distilled water
16 ounces cold purified or distilled water
4 dropperfuls liquid stevia
1 drop lemon or lime essential oil (optional)
Ice cubes

Supplies:

32-ounce glass water bottle

Add the boiling water.
Steep for 10 minutes.
Add the cold water and fill the bottle with ice.

Notes

* If you're using essential oils, remember that water and oils don't mix, and you should never just drop an EO in water and take a gulp. Just be sure to mix the essential oils with a bit of liquid stevia or honey beforehand. These natural sweeteners as act as dispersants to prevent you from irritating your mouth when you drink it.

*If you like making a lot of hot drinks, I recommend purchasing an electric kettle. I love having hot water ready when I want to make a quick cup of tea or a latte. I use an electric glass kettle similar to this one.
