POSH JASMINE ICED TEA

Steps:

• Strain the steeped tea, and then stir in the honey and mix well. Cool the tea to room temperature, and then chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• When ready to serve, stir in the apple juice. Pour into glasses topped with some ice cubes, or pour over scoops of sorbet. Tumble in the fresh fruit and garnish with mint sprigs and lemon slices. Serve with fun straws.

COLD BREWED JASMINE ICED TEA

Steps:

• In a large pitcher combine the tea and water. Mix the sugar or honey with about a cup of hot water so that it dissolves and will mix with the room temperature water. Add the sugar/ hot water mixture to the pitcher. Put the pitcher in the refrigerator (preferably before you go to sleep) and let the tea leaves soak until morning (9-12 hours). Add lemon to taste and then pour the tea through a strainer so as to catch the tea leaves before serving.
