{natural} is better.

More and more, people are becoming concerned about what they put in their bodies.

{It’s about time}

So, when Lipton reached out to me and asked me to try some of their new 100% natural line of iced teas and then review them online, I was in.

You may be aware that this is my first time doing a compensated review on this blog. Allow me to say – that first of all, I would never give a positive review on a product unless I meant it, regardless of whether or not I’m being paid to say it. Thus, I would never agree to do something like this unless I was fairly certain that I would have good things to say.

Lucky for Lipton, that was the outcome. These new iced teas taste great, and I’m proud to be part of a campaign for a company that cares about their consumers and our needs.

I love that they’re offering both diet versions with no calories as well as regular iced teas that are still low in calories (50-70 per serving). I’d have to say my favorite regular flavor is the Iced Tea with Blueberry Pomegranate, and my favorite diet flavor is the Diet Green Tea with Watermelon. Delish.

I was also excited to receive a ton of cocktail recipes to try with the new iced teas. Because I’m loving the watermelon flavor the most (and because it’s diet), I’ll share Lipton’s suggestion for serving here. Perfect for summer cocktailing!

Watermelon-Lime Mint Punch

• 2 sprigs fresh mint
• 2 bottles Lipton 100% Natural Diet Green Tea with Watermelon
• 1/4 cup lime juice

• Watermelon balls, for garnish

Thoroughly crush mint with wooden spoon on side of pitcher. Stir in green tea, lime juice, and rum. Let stand 30 minutes. Remove mint. Chill until ready to serve. Serve in ice-filled glasses and garnish, if desired, with additional mint and watermelon balls. Makes 5 servings.
