Posted on: 14/Sep/2015 11:11:17 AM
How about getting a flawless skin and youthful look just with a glass full of mocktail?
Melon Iced Tea – this beverage will leave your skin wrinkle free and glowing! Here is the recipe for Melon Iced Tea from the book of Aparna Santhanam `Skin Deep – an inside out approach to looking good`.
This is a spectacular twist from the conventionally consumed iced black tea, enriched with the goodness of fresh fruits.
Required ingredients:
· Water melon – 1 ½ cups
· Green tea bags – 4
· Honey – 4 tbsp
Procedure:
Take a glass of hot water and dip the tea bags in it. Keep them immersed in it for about ten minutes. Now, strain the mixture and let it get cooled down to room temperature. Chill it in a refrigerator.
Slice watermelon into small pieces and blend them into a juice. Strain the juice and add honey to it. You may skip the process of straining if you love to chew watermelon chunks amidst your sips.
Add iced tea to watermelon juice and refrigerate the mixture yet again, or serve with ice cubes.
Beauty benefits:
Green tea contains large amounts of antioxidants as it has catechins in it. Watermelon contains lycopene which again is a powerful antioxidant. When both these are brought together in a recipe, it naturally has excellent anti-aging affect and lets your skin glow.
It acts beneficial on skin with its rich content of Vitamin A and Vitamin C. This helps you bid bye to fine lines and wrinkles on your face.
