iced tea that is. more specifically peppermint iced tea. my mom is a big iced tea drinker. i've never liked the bizarre plant flavor that is tea. but a year or so ago i was introduced to peppermint tea. pure peppermint. it's like a hot melted watery peppermint stick. delicious on a cold winter night. last summer my roommate recommended iced peppermint tea. i wasn't so sure about it.about two months ago i had the strongest craving for peppermint tea. but being summer, hot tea wasn't the way to go. i went online and researched how to make iced tea at home. upon deliberation i decided i'd make sweet tea. i like my tea sweetened, and if i can do that while making it instead of afterwards, i figured i might as well. it took some experimentation but i've made some good sweet peppermint tea as of late.
i thought i'd share my recipe.
