Healthy Summer Tea

" Starting out, you want to steep your tea, and I have all these green tea bags and you can also use ginseng or gingko, or something like that but you want to steep the tea bags and while that's steeping, stir in some honey. Our tea has steeped for 10 minutes. So now, I take the handy tongs that you have in your drawer, no doubt. And remove them so you can take it and kind of squeeze out that wonderful tea. Now, I'm going to transfer this to a pitcher. So, we can see just a little bit of honey there on the bottom and I'm going to add orange juice. And you can also use tangerine juice depending on what you like the best and here's some lemon juice. Again, you can use the lime juice and stir that in. Stir that altogether, and it has kind of a green tea look to it. If the juice has chilled, and it's ready to go. So now, it's time to engineer the drinks. Start with some nice ice and here is the tea and juice mixture with a little honey just to sweeten it and I topped that off with sparkling water, and then because we want this to be a true summer drink, some gorgeous fresh fruit. Well, there is your drink with all the fruit and ice and everything perfect for a hot summer day. I also have a blender drink that includes ice cream, another wonderful ingredient for the summer, that has coffee bits. Instead of teas steeping, you could steep your coffee in the drink. It's wonderful. And then the last drink is lemonade that we've mixed a mint syrup into, so that is so refreshing. So here's to summer and enjoy your drinks. This is Diana Macmillan for Better TV."
