INGREDIENTS
2 Lipton Stress Less tea bags
1 cup water
1 pint of freshly-squeezed or store-bought, unsweetened apple juice (100% Juice not from concentrate)
12 mint leaves, plus 2 to garnish
2 unwaxed limes (see chef’s tip)
METHOD
- Pick the mint leaves off the stem.
- Lay half of the mint leaves on top of each other and roll into a tube. Using sharp scissors cut the rolled-up leaves into ribbons. Repeat with the other half.
- Distribute the leaves between 12 compartments of your ice cube tray.
- Pour over the apple juice and freeze for 4 hours or overnight.
- When ready to serve, brew Lipton Stress Less tea bags for 4-6 minutes in freshly boiled water and allow to cool slightly.
- Add six ice cubes to each glass and top with a mint leaf.
Chef’s tip: For extra zing, add the zest of 2 unwaxed limes to the mint leaves, their juice to the apple juice.
