RECIPE: INA GARTEN'S ICED HERBAL TEA

I MADE INA’S ICED HERBAL TEA AND I LOVE IT!

I recently made the Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten’s Iced Herbal Tea and it is so good. As a southerner with an affinity for iced tea, I do occasionally make iced tea with Earl Grey or Constant Comment, so I thought this was worth a try. It is a perfect summer drink and even a nice “mocktail” option when you need one. I topped it with a bit of club soda to brighten it up. That makes it feel more like a cocktail. Here is Ina’s recipe:

ICED HERBAL TEA

INGREDIENTS

4 Celestial Seasonings Lemon Zinger tea bags

4 Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger tea bags

4 cups boiling water

4 cups pure apple juice

DIRECTIONS: Steep the 8 tea bags in 4 cups of boiling water for about 10 minutes. Discard the tea bags. Combine tea with the apple juice and refrigerate until cold. Serve over ice. Top with a splash of club soda, if desired. Garnish with lemon wheel.
