Herbal Iced Tea

I picked up the Barefoot Contessa cookbook from the library a week or two ago. There were several recipes that looked good, but this one was chosen to try first. I am not a big tea drinker -- at all! But Jeremiah likes tea and I do like to find beverages that I could have in my arsenal for guests as well. We gave this one a try and for me, it was just ok. But if you like tea, you may really enjoy this one. I will probably make it from time to time when we have guests come over who I know will enjoy it too. But I probably won't make it just for myself.

Herbal Iced Tea 
        from the Barefoot Contessa 

4 Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger tea bags
4 Celestial Seasonings Lemon Zinger tea bags
4 cups pure apple juice (*She uses Martinelli's pure apple juice; I used the store brand :o) )

Steep the 8 tea bags in 4 cups of boiling water for about 10 minutes. Discard the tea bags. Combine the tea with the apple juice and refrigerate until cold. Serve over ice. Serves 6-8.

P.S. It is also caffeine free!

To life... full of fun, summery drinks!
