Mint, Lime Iced Tea
The inspiration for this recipe came from a local food truck, Goatacado, that is at our Saturday morning farmer’s market. They specialize in various quinoa bowls with lots of veggies, avocado and topped with a fried egg. While these are delicious, I really love this ice tea. I don’t generally like sweet tea but this combination is perfection. I am using Stevia in my recipe since I really am careful about excess sugar and I think I have finally come up with a tea that is very similar to theirs. This is a great way to stay hydrated when you get tired of drinking just water! Happy Summer! Ingredients: 4 cups boiling water 2 Peppermint tea bags (I use Pukka Three Mint Tea) Juice of 1 medium lime Stevia to taste Directions: 1. Boil 4 cups of water. 2. Pour water over 2 tea bags in a shatterproof pitcher (I use my 4 cup pyrex glass measuring cup). 3. Steep for 5 minutes. 4. Add lime juice. 5. Add Stevia to taste (I use the powdered form from Trader Joes). 6. Pour over ice. Garnish with a mint sprig and a slice of lime. Enjoy!!!! © The Sown Life LLC, 2019
