This fruity tea is a fantastic beverage for hot days and soothing to an upset stomach any other time. Slightly sweetened fruit juice and tea is a healthy alternative to artificially-flavored powdered drinks. Try it with seltzer water instead of tea! Ingredients:
1 cup pitted cherries |
1 (2 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced |
3 tablespoons white sugar |
4 cups filtered water, divided |
4 (2 g) bags green tea |
4 lemon slices (optional) |
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine cherries and ginger slices in a glass bowl. Sprinkle sugar over the cherries mixture and cover with 2 cups filtered water.
2. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours to overnight.
3. Bring 2 cups filtered water nearly to a boil; pour over tea bags in a pitcher. Steep tea for 90 seconds. Squeeze tea bags into pitcher and discard bags.
4. Strain cherry-ginger water into pitcher with green tea, squeezing out excess liquid. Serve with lemon slices and lemon juice.
