[recipe re-post] Victorian Iced Tea

[Guest guest]

Here is a re-post of a refreshing summer

beverage I love. I like it better without the mint.

Last time I added sliced oranges to each glass

instead.

 

Victorian Iced Tea

 

4 individual tea bags

4 cups boiling water

1 can (11.5oz) frozen cranberry-raspberry juice concentrate, thawed

4 cups cold water

Ice cubes and fresh mint

 

Place tea bags in a teapot; add boiling water.

Cover and steep for 5 minutes. Remove and

discard tea bags. Refrigerate tea in a covered

container. Just before serving, combine

cranberry-raspberry concentrate and cold water

in a 2 1/2 quart pitcher; stir in tea. Serve on ice.

Garnish with sprigs of mint.

Yield: 10 one-cup servings

That does sound good. Any green tea suggestions or recipes out there?

Personally I love real green tea served ice cold! Sometimes with a bit of

peach nectar or mint!

Oh, another summer drink I love...non-alcoholic mint julep!

Wow! Thanks so much for this recipe. I'm a big tea fan. I've been

collecting tea pots and tea cups

for about 60 years.

 

All the girls in my family enjoy having tea parties with me. They always get

to select their favorite

tea cups, from the display cabinets, to drink their tea.

 

I even have a special box full of porcelain mini teas sets for them to play

with. Each tea set has it's

own little matching serving tray. Each tea cup is so small that it fits onto

the tip of a 2 year olds fingers.

The baby's love to put cups on all of their finger tips.

 

I collected my neighbors mail while they went to Montana on vacation...they

brought me a tin of Huckleberry

Tea as a thank you gift. I'm excited to try these two new teas. Thanks

again.

All of my neighbors are so nice. We all raised our children together, and

have live here for years. Now we are all empty nesters and we take care of each

others yards, mail, watering and security systems when anyone of us is gone

on a trip or in the hospital. I feel very fortunate to be living in such a

wonderful community.

I love those cute mini tea party sets.

My mom has a few and loves to collect

them. Your tea parties sound wonderful.

That was so nice of you to collect the mail

for your neighbor and equally kind of them

to give you such a thoughtful gift.

If everyone tried to be so helpful to their

neighbors each day we could have world

peace in no time!
