4 iced tea recipes




I'm pretty sure that iced tea is my favourite drink in the world. Here are some recipes that I'm going to be trying out.


Apple Honey Iced Tea

Ingredients:
3 cups water, boiling
4 tea bags
1/3 cup honey
3 cups apple juice

Preparation:

Steep tea bags in hot water for 5 minutes. Strain out tea bags, and stir in honey and juice. Mix until honey is dissolved. Chill and serve over ice.


Raspberry Iced Tea

Ingredients:
2 cups tea
2 cups raspberry juice
1/4 cup honey

Preparation:
Mix raspberry juice, tea and honey. Whisk until honey is dissolved. Serve cold over ice. You can substitute cranberry juice, instead of raspberry for a different taste.


Thai Iced Tea

Ingredients:
6 cups water
8 tea bags, black
1 cup evaporated milk
4 tbs sugar
4 tsp cinnamon
4 tsp cardamom
Ice, crushed

Preparation:
Boil the water and steep tea bags with cardamom for 5 minutes. Strain out teabags and let cool. Put ice into 4 glasses, and add tea. Leave about a quarter of the glass empty. To each glass add, 1 tbs sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 cup of milk.


Spiced Maple Iced Tea

Ingredients:
6 tbs green tea
1 tbs anise, powdered
1/4 cup maple syrup
Lemon slices for garnish

Preparation:
Steep tea in 6 cups of hot (not quite boiling) water. Strain out tea, and add anise and maple syrup. Stir until syrup is dissolved and blended. Let cool and serve over ice, with a slice of lemon.
