This works with any jasmine or oolong tea. But for a stronger brew, I like a mixture of jasmine and plain green tea. -- Wendell Brock
Hands on time: 10 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 30 minutes Serves: 8
Ingredients:
-
2 quarts cold water
1 tablespoon jasmine tea
1 tablespoon green tea
1/2 cup fresh, peeled, roughly chopped ginger
2 stalks lemon grass, peeled and roughly chopped
12 sprigs fresh mint, roughly broken apart by hand
1/3 cup granulated sugar
Lemon or lime slices, for garnish, optional
Candied ginger, for garnish, optional
Instructions:
In pot with lid, bring water to boil over high heat. Immediately after it begins to boil, add jasmine tea, green tea, ginger, lemon grass and mint. Remove from heat and stir briefly. Add sugar and stir until granules dissolve. Allow to steep 10 to 15 minutes.
Pour solution through a fine-mesh sieve. Bring to room temperature before storing in refrigerator. Chill until cool.
