List of Ingredients
2 lemons
4 cups boiling water
6 ginger or peppermint tea bags
Ice cubes
Honey or sugar to taste
Recipe
With vegetable peeler, peel each lemon in a continuous spiral, carefully removing only the top layer-not the bitter white of the lemon. In large pitcher, pour boiling water over the tea bags and lemon peel. Cover and steep 10 minutes. Remove tea bags and chill with peel still steeping in a covered container.
To serve, remove peel and pour over ice cubes in tall glasses. Sweeten to taste with honey. Makes 4 (8-ounce) servings.
Notes: You can use loose tea also. I always have dried mint on hand. Use about 6 teaspoons and enclose in a tea ball or strainer.
