Loaded Tea: Lime in the Coconut

Lime in the Coconut might just be my new favorite loaded tea flavor! 🍋🥥 I know, I know—I’ve said that before—but with so many new flavors popping up, how can I choose just one? 😆

All the recipes for the loaded teas I have been trying come from Silver Lining Lessons. If you are interested in making loaded teas at home, you have to check out their site))) The number of recipes is unbelievable and there is so much information explaining things. The website is loaded with ads and popups so don’t get frustrated. They offer their recipes for free! So I don’t blame them for earning revenue from advertising. Just be patient and you’ll get to the goodies.

Building My Supply

I’ve been making loaded teas for a few weeks now, and little by little, I’ve been building my collection of flavors. One that had me on a mission? Margaritaville Pina Colada—a key ingredient for the Lime in the Coconut tea. It was surprisingly hard to find, but once I finally got my hands on it and tried the recipe… WOW. Instant favorite! 😍🍋🥥

Every time I tell Carrie I’m searching for a certain flavor, she hits me with, “Did you check Amazon?” Nope! Not until it’s my absolute last resort. Where’s the fun in that? I love the thrill of stopping by different grocery stores, Dollar General, CVS, Walgreens—anywhere that might have a hidden gem. And guess what? I finally discovered the honey hole for Pina Colada. Now I can make as many Lime in the Coconut teas as I want! 🎉

Oh, by the way, I found the Margaritaville Pina Colada at the local Piggy Wiggly))) The recipe has a citrus base with tropical kiwi lime and pina colada flavors. It calls for Waka lemon green tea, but I just have plain Waka Green Tea and I’ve been using it in all the recipes. You use such a small amount of green tea, it can’t make much difference whether you use lemon green tea or plain green tea. I could be wrong….but for now, I’m just using plain green tea.

When I have to place another order on Amazon for the Waka Green Tea, I might get another flavor just to see.

Now, Lime in the Coconut may not be as pretty as some of the other loaded teas, but looks aren’t everything! 😉 The pina colada flavor packets create a cloudy white liquid, so it doesn’t pop in pictures quite like the bright, colorful teas. But trust me—the taste more than makes up for it!

Handy Things

I love these measuring spoons! 😍 I don’t have them yet, but they’re definitely going in my next Amazon order. They’re magnetic and color-coded, which makes them super convenient. You can get them in a single color set or assorted colors—and honestly, I think the assorted colors would be great for aging eyes. It’s much easier to grab the right size by color rather than trying to read those tiny labels!

Right now, I have a set of measuring spoons that I took off the ring, and that was definitely a good move. You need them loose to stir up the powders properly. I also keep a small whisk handy, which works great for mixing everything smoothly.

Can’t wait to get my hands on these! Have you tried them? Let me know what you think! 😊

I love these plastic tumblers! 😍 The screw-on lids have saved me from more than a few spills—definitely a game-changer. Plus, they come with sturdy straws that hold up really well.

One of my favorite things about these tumblers? They’re insulated and clear! I think clear cups just make loaded teas look more appealing—you can really see all the beautiful colors and layers. It just adds to the experience! 😊

If you’re making loaded teas regularly, these tumblers are a must-have! 💛))

If you’re making loaded teas often, disposable cups are a great option! They’re sturdy, come with lids and straws, and are super convenient. I bought two 50-pack sets to save on shipping, and I’m already almost through my first set! 😆

Another must-have? A 2-cup measuring cup. You can find one at Walmart or any dollar store—mine is plastic, and it works great! Even though you’re only using 6 oz and 8 oz of water, some of the powders are carbonated and fizz up, so you need extra space. Plus, stirring powdered mixes into cold water takes a little effort, and the extra room in a 2-cup measuring cup makes it so much easier. Trust me, it’s worth it! 😊

Alcohol in Loaded Teas? No Thanks!

Someone recently asked me if I add alcohol to my loaded teas. The answer? Nope! I mean, I’ve been tempted, but let’s be real—this is a 32 oz cup we’re talking about. As much as I love the taste of these teas, I’d be falling out of my chair by 9:00 AM! 😂 So no, no alcohol for me.

In fact, after I’ve had one tea with caffeine, I usually make my next one as flavored water. It tastes just as good and is way quicker to make.

If you want to skip the caffeine but still enjoy the flavors, Silver Lining Lessons has recipes for making loaded teas as just flavored water. They even have instructions for making it by the gallon, which would be perfect for entertaining—or just keeping in the fridge for yourself. Not gonna lie, I could probably go through a gallon pretty fast… lol. 😆

Loaded Tea Recipes

Keeping up the the Silver Lining Lessons tea recipes is not easy! I have downloaded the app to my phone, but still I like to print the recipes and keep them in a small photo album. You can find them at Dollar Tree and some have 24 pages, so you can store 48 recipes. I’m on book #2 already! I created a template in Canva and put four recipes to a page, then print, and cut.

This past Sunday afternoon I thought I would go through all the loaded tea recipes on SLL and finally get all the ones that I had ingredients for. I printed about 24 and STILL did not get to the last of the recipes! Told you there were a bunch of recipes there))))

Until later….

Enjoy your homemade loaded teas….I’m sipping on Lime in the Coconut right now))))
