I love the summer. I don't know what
the weather's like today where you are, but it's SO hot here in London. It's almost 80 degrees outside and I'm definitely feeling it.
You will need:
2 litres (approx 8 cups) water
7 tea bags
4 ripe, juicy peaches
1 large sprig of fresh mint
Natural sweetener such as stevia to taste (optional)
Method:
1. Boil the water and steep the tea bags in a heatproof jug or pitcher for 10-15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, slice the peaches.
3. When the tea is brewed, remove the tea bags and add the peaches, mint and stevia to the water. Stir.
4. Leave to cool at room temperature before refrigerating.
5. Pour over ice to serve.
7 green tea bags
12 strawberries
1 cucumber
Half a lemon and the juice of the other half
Honey or stevia to sweeten (optional)
2. Meanwhile, cut the strawberries into halves, slice the lemon and cut about 15 slices of cucumber.
3. When the tea is brewed, remove the tea bags and add the strawberries, cucumber slices, lemon slices, lemon juice and honey or stevia to the water. Stir.
4. Leave to cool at room temperature before refrigerating.
5. Pour over ice to serve.
Anyway, enough about me. If you
could do with a little hydration in this crazy heat, but are bored of
water and feel like something sweet...don't reach for the cola, because I've got just
the thing.
