Healthy Iced Sweet Tea Recipe
(Southern Sweetea)
This is my healthy iced sweetea recipe. Would work for hot tea also if you leave out the ice.
2 cups of filtered water or spring water
heat on medium in a stainless steel or glass pot
add 1/8 cup Organic maple syrup (365 from Whole Foods is good) grade B (unprocessed)
stir gently while heating to completely dissolve the syrup into the water
add 4 Tetley tea bags
cover and remove from heat
let sit 15 minutes or so
pour into tall heavy glass (never plastic) filled with ice cubes
This will be very strong, dilute to taste with filtered water
Add slice of lemon (squeeze into tea)
Enjoy with a good book outside under a tree!!
