Notes

When I was making them I thought may be the taste would be too refined for kids and the like but these were surprisingly a bit hit across ages :)
PS: If u don't get green tea syrup use a little brewed and sweetened green tea.
If you make this, share a picture with me on twitter, instagram or Facebook? I would love to hear what you have to say about it !
