ROMA'S ICED MINT/ORANGE TEA
I use the Wal-Mart brand of tea
bags...large
family style one's
and a four quart container.
I only use 3 of
the big
tea bags.
I pick my mint fresh from outdoors, wash it and add it
to
tea bags...
I pour boiling hot water over it. That alone makes a great ice tea.
Sometimes I
squeeze and orange to it. Really nice!
I didn't have an orange
the other
day so I put a few drops of orange extract in it. Also very
good.
When
it's ice cold I remove the mint leaves, but I let it stay in
fridge for
one day first. Gets that really good minty taste.
Sweeten to your own taste.
So, that's my
iced
mint/orange tea.
