Hi everyone: I still havent caught up with all those boxes, or all my Fatfree digests, but I have managed to find a lot of good recipes, including this one for ice tea. Its from The Ethnic Vegetarian Kitchen by Shanta Nimbark Sacharoff. Its my favorite ice tea recipe and I often make 3-4 batches at a time. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan and remove from heat. Add tea leaves (put in tea infuser for less of a mess) and mint leaves (use tea infuser for dried mint as well). Cover the pot and steep for 5 minutes. Remove tea leaves and mint leaves. (For a more intense mint flavor leave mint in for 5 minutes longer.) Strain if not using infusers, stir in honey or sugar (about 1/2 cup) until dissolved. Add ice water and lemon or lime juice. Stir well and pour into glasses with ice cubes. Note: I have also tried this recipe using lemon balm instead of the mint. It gives it a different taste and is also good. Posted to fatfree digest by JBennicoff <JBennicoff@aol.com> on Apr 29, 1998
