Sweetest Tea of Them All

Our sweet tea recipe here at the Cherry House ...

Ingredients:

6 Peach Tea bags
2 Mint Tea bags
Mint Leaves
Oranges
Sugar
Water
Ice

Directions:

Put a small pot of water on the stove with 2 cups of sugar (I know it sounds like a lot, but just go with it).  Then let that come to a boil.  Turn your temp to low and add your tea bags (8).  Let that syrup steep for about 20 minutes.  While your tea syrup is steeping cut up an orange into slices and prick a few leaves off your mint leaf plant.  Remove tea bags, drain any excess into pot, discard tea bags.  Then take a gallon size pitcher and add ice.  Pour the tea syrup into the pitcher and then fill to the brim with fresh, filtered water (especially if you live in Sherman).  Toss in your orange slices and tea leaves.  Refrigerate until it becomes nice and cool.

Fill up your glass with some ice and enjoy!!!

Peace, Love, and Sweet Tea!

**Note: you can use any type of tea you'd like.  We usually just use whatever we have, but this is a nice refreshing combo for Summer!
