Summer Herbal Iced Tea
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp dried chopped orange peel OR 1/4 cup fresh chopped orange peel
- 2 tbsp dried peppermint OR 1/2 cup fresh peppermint
- 4 cups water
- Honey to taste
- Fresh lemon juice to taste
Instructions
- Put the orange peel, peppermint, and water into a covered saucepan. I use stainless steel Revere pots; glass and enamel pots also work well.
- Over medium-high heat, bring the water and herbs to a boil, and then immediately remove from the heat. Let the herbs steep for 1 to 2 hours.
- Using a metal strainer, remove the herbs from the tea and pour the tea into a pitcher.
- Add honey and lemon juice to taste.
- Store the tea, covered, in the refrigerator and drink within a couple of days.
