Ingredients
Tea Base
- 1 1/2 cups lemonade
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 bags mint tea
- 2 bags peach tea
Flavorings
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey (or more to taste)
- 1 lemon wedge or slice for garnish
Instructions
- Bring liquids to boil: Heat the lemonade and water together in a kettle or saucepan until it reaches a gentle boil to prepare the steeping liquid for the teas.
- Steep tea and ginger: Place the mint and peach tea bags in separate mugs or collectively in a large measuring cup or pitcher along with the freshly grated ginger. Pour the hot lemonade-water mixture over them and let steep for about 5 minutes for full flavor extraction.
- Remove tea bags and sweeten: After steeping, remove the tea bags and stir in the honey until fully dissolved, adjusting the sweetness to your taste preference.
- Garnish and serve: Add a lemon slice or wedge to the drink for a refreshing garnish and enjoy warm immediately for the best experience.
Notes
- Use freshly grated ginger for the best flavor and maximum health benefits.
- Adjust honey quantity based on preferred sweetness and dietary considerations.
- Can be served hot or allowed to cool and served over ice for a refreshing iced tea version.
- Using separate mugs or a large pitcher depends on your serving preference; both methods work well.
- For a stronger ginger flavor, increase the ginger amount slightly but avoid overpowering the delicate teas.
