Health benefits of Iced Teaquila

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups guava nectar (see Note)

Lemon twists, for serving

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water and bring to a simmer over moderately high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Stir in the lemon juice.
In a large pitcher, combine the lemon syrup with the guava nectar, tea and tequila. Pour the teaquila into tall glasses over ice and garnish each with a lemon twist.
