Iced Tea

While I guess you don't really need a recipe to make iced tea... I'm going to throw this up on here anyway.  It's been so hot and sunny outside as of recent- perfect weather to relax in the shade with a good book and a cool glass of iced tea!

I like to cut up little pieces from the lemon and freeze them in ice cubes to use in the tea too.  I don't use much sugar in my iced tea, I love the taste of the tannins from the tea!  It's very easy to modify the tea to your taste by adding more or less water/ sugar/ lemon etc.

Regular Iced Tea

• Juice from 1/2 lemon
• Sugar (to taste, optional)
• Pot of tea (orange pekoe), brewed for 5 min
• Ice cubes

1. Brew tea, add lemon and sugar if using, pour over ice!  Of course, it's probably better to wait till the tea has a little time to cool...

Morroccan Mint Iced Tea

• Green tea
• Mint leaves
• Sugar (to taste, optional)
• Ice cubes

1. Like above, brew tea with mint leaves, add and sugar if using, allow to cool, strain and pour over ice!
2. Garnish with additional mint leaves
