Festive Foodies celebrate National Iced Tea Month!
Iced tea is my go to drink. Refreshing, cool and thirst quenching. What’s your favorite iced tea?
I’m a big fan of mint. A patch grows on the side of the house where it’s a bit shady. Sometimes I’ll add a few mint leaves to a cup of black tea or green tea. Mint makes a tasty tea by itself.
Brewing fresh mint can be done several ways. You can make mint tea in a regular coffee maker. Add mint leaves with a filter and run the coffee maker normally. I don’t advocate making tea this way. As a result it takes too much mint to get any flavor.
Simply bring cold water and mint to a boil in a small saucepan, turn off the heat and let it steep for several minutes.
You can add blueberries directly to the water with the mint, then strain. For a more intense blueberry flavor, puree blueberries with a bit of water and add the puree to the tea.
A touch of honey can balance any tartness fresh blueberries bring to the drink.
That’s the fun of making tea! Experiment and find the perfect balance. Enjoy!
