Tea, tea, coconut water, and more tea!

In the spirit of good health and a spare Sunday afternoon, I'm trying out a recipe for an all-natural energy drink to replace the Monster in my latest daily routine. Coffee used to do it for me, but I have found that it makes me severely dehydrated..not okay. especially at these high altitudes.

Here's what I'm testing out:

 (My measurements are VERY precise, as always.) Boiled a pot of water and steeped a bag of yerba mate tea along with a bag of green/white tea (with caffeine..of course) and a bag of raspberry peach elderberry/hibiscus tea for some extra flavor.

I'll combine this with an equal amount of pomegranate flavored coconut water and pour it over ice in the morning! Can't wait to try it! Smells like heaven..
The green, white, and yerba mate teas contain a small dose of caffeine along with a diverse mixture of powerful antioxidants and synergistic phytochemicals.
Plus, the coconut water is a rich source of electrolytes and a diversity of vitamins and minerals.
Coconut water is known to provide a good instant energy source, and also contains a small dose of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are healthy fats that are readily used for energy and also aid your immune system.
