Following are delicious recipes for
both hot and iced teas. Each recipe calls for tea
bags, however substituting loose tea for the
tea bags will make a much tastier beverage. Use 1 teaspoon loose tea
per tea bag.
Minty fruit Tea
4 tea bags or 1/2oz loose tea (green tea works well)
10 sprigs of fresh mint
5 cups boiling water
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups boiling water
2/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup orange juice
Steep the tea bags and mint in the 5
cups of water for 20 minutes. Stir the sugar in the 3 cups of hot
water until dissolved. Cool both the tea and sugar mixture.
Add the fruit juices to the sugar water followed by the tea and mint.
Stir well and serve over ice. Float a mint leaf or two in the glass
for garnish.
