Well, this unusually toasty summer in Pittsburgh has made me crave Teaism's ginger limeade. Problem is, I'm in Pittsburgh...and Teaism is in DC. So I had to come up with my own version. After a little experimenting, I created this recipe that I'm really happy with. So happy, that I've been making a couple of batches on a weekly basis. The best part is that my version only has 8 calories per serving, so it's pretty much a guilt-free treat. :)
