STRAWBERRY MINT & HIBISCUS ICED TEA

*This drink will settle when stored in the fridge.
Simply give it a good shake before pouring over ice!

Serves: ½ gallon

INGREDIENTS
4 teaspoons Dried Spearmint Tea Leaves
4 teaspoons Dried Hibiscus Flowers
2 teaspoons Red Raspberry Tea Leaves
8 cups Boiling Hot Water
Ice
Mint, to garnish
Strawberries, to garnish
16 oz. Strawberries, washed & hulled
Juice of 1 Lemon
⅓ cup + Raw Honey or Agave Nectar

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the spearmint leaves, hibiscus flowers, and red raspberry tea leaves in a ½ gallon mason jar or similar sized container. Pour the boiling hot water over the tea leaves and let steep for 15 minutes.
Pour the tea through a fine mesh strainer into another jar, pressing on solids to extract all the flavor you can. Discard solids. Let tea cool to room temperature then cover and place in the fridge to chill.
Meanwhile, place the strawberries, lemon juice, and honey in a blender and process until completely pureed. Run the mixture through a fine mesh strainer and discard solids. NOTE: this step is not completely necessary and is simply a matter of personal preference. If you don't mind the texture of strawberry seeds in beverages, you can skip this step.
Add the strawberry puree to the cold tea and mix well.
Pour over ice to serve! Garnish with mint leaves and strawberry slices, if desired.

Orange Brown Sugar Sweet Tea

#1: Grab the vegetable peeler and an orange and let’s get started. Hold the orange firmly in one hand and, with the other hand, cut away the orange peel (the very outer, orange skin of the orange).

Right before serving the tea, place one half of an orange slice in the bottom of each glass and muddle, or mash, the orange to release the juice and oils. Since I don’t own a muddler, I use the rounded end of my wooden spoon. Muddle with slight force; just a couple of pushes and twists should be enough.
