Foodie Fridays: Cranberry-Lime Iced Tea

Cranberry-Lime Iced Tea

Great summer quencher and with not too many calories. Tea has great benefits whatever form you take it in and so does lime juice. Add some mint and you've got a healthy iced tea which is a great substitute to colas and doesn't take too long to prep. In fact, you could make a jug and leave it in the fridge for later.

If you have friends over during the day, make a big jug, get different sized glass jars and have yourselves a great iced tea.

For 1 jar of this yum drink you'll need:

• cranberry juice
• lemon juice
• tea bags
• honey
• mint leaf ice cubes 

Method:

• Combine the cranberry juice and lemon juice in a jar, mix well and refrigerate. 
• Simmer the tea bags in cups of water and let them steep for 4-5 minutes. Over-steeping can make it really bitter and the solution cloudy. Throw out the tea bags, add the honey and let the tea cool down to room temperature. I like to refrigerate the sweet tea for an hour before adding it to the juice mix, but you can add lots of ice and it'll still be great. 
• Throw in some of the mint leaf ice cubes and pour the sweet tea to the jar and mix well. You get the minty zing as the mint flavoured ice melts in the iced tea.
