"This is very refreshing and not at all too sweet. Skip said the taste was "very complex." The mint is not overpowering by any means. Although my pitcher holds 2 quarts of liquid, I could only put in 1 quart with all the other ingredients. Since it was then a "concentrate," I added additional water to each serving. Easy to make--you just need to plan ahead as it is not ready immediately!"
ICED MINT ORANGE HONEY TEA
1 large bunch fresh mint
3 oranges, halved top to bottom, end slices discarded, sliced 1/8" thick
2/3 c honey
2 quarts cold water
6 Earl Grey tea bags
After the mint is washed, place it in a large glass pitcher. Add the orange slices, then the honey. Use a wooden spoon to crush the ingredients until lightly broken up, and the mint and honey are mixed with orange juice. Add the cold water and stir. Place the tea bags on top; cover pitcher with plastic wrap. Let it sit on the counter for about 12 hours to "brew." Remove the tea bags and squeeze remaining liquid back into the pitcher. Serve over ice.
I think I know where that Black Bean Couscous Salad came from :)
