Why serve plain iced tea when you can punch it up with healthy, natural flavors like ginger, mint, lemon and peach, as in Bonaparte's version here? A good reason to steep and sip: Tea's polyphenols may lower your risk for cancer. Ingredients:
1 ounce tea leaves (earl grey or darjeeling, about 1/3 cup loose tea or 7 bags) |
1 lemon, sliced |
1 piece ginger (about 2 inches), peeled and smashed |
1 quart boiling water |
8 cups ice cubes |
2 peaches, peeled, pitted and diced |
1/2 cup sugar |
8 sprigs mint |
1 peach, pitted and sliced |
Directions:
1. Place tea, lemon and ginger in a heatproof container and add boiling water. Let tea steep 7 to 8 minutes. Place 4 cups of the ice in a pitcher, then pour in tea. Blend diced peaches and sugar in a blender until smooth; mix into tea. Serve in glasses over remaining ice and garnish with mint and peach slices.
