Iced Green-Ginger-Mint Tea

by guest blogger Maya Rodale, writer of historical tales of true love and adventure

'Tis the season for cold refreshing beverages and I just cannot get enough of this iced green tea recipe I invented. It's full of all kinds of healthy ingredients and couldn't be easier to make.

You'll need the following organic ingredients to make a pitcher:

• 3-4 bags green tea


• 2-3 lemon slices


• 1 1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and smashed


• 2-3 sprigs of mint


• Dash of honey simple syrup (2-3 Tablespoons honey mixed with 2-3 Tablespoons boiling water)

Directions:
Basically, add everything to your pitcher, pour in cold filtered water and leave it for a few hours--sun is wonderful, but not necessary, while it steeps. Pour over ice or refrigerate until chilled. Enjoy!
