Cranberry Lime Iced Tea

Cranberry Lime Iced Tea

This iced tea makes you feel special.

6 packets cranberry tea ( you can use herbal or not)

6 to 8 cups of water

1 lime, sliced thinly

ice

In a large microwave-proof bowl, add six to eight cups of water. Open the tea bags & float them in the water. Microwave until the water just about boils, which is two minutes on HIGH for my microwave. Remove from the microwave & let them set for five to 15 minutes. Gently stir.

Carefully remove the tea bags with a spoon. Be really careful so you don't split any of them or you'll have to strain your tea. If you get them all out, you can put them in a bowl & save them; you're likely to get a second batch of tea from the same tea bags.

The tea will be a lovely pink color.

When it cools down for 10 minutes or so, pour the tea over a large pitcher half-filled with ice. (Alternatively you can store the iced tea in the pitcher in your fridge with the lime & add the ice later.)

Add the lime slices & stir. As the tea sits, the lime will ooze out a bit. If you like more lime flavor, you can add some lime juice or put slices of lime into the individual glasses.

Pour the iced tea into tall glasses filled with more ice. Serve.

You can store any leftovers in the refrigerator

P.S. You've probably figured out, you can do this with several other flavors of tea too! Experiment and ENJOY!
