When I think of summer, I am reminded of the fresh mint and strawberries Mom used to grow in her garden! In this recipe, I combined fresh strawberries and crushed mint, with antioxidant rich Koni Mighty Athena Tea to create a delicious and refreshing thirst quencher.
Ingredients:
Simple syrup on hand (1 cup hot water; 2 cups granulated sugar or 2 tsp of Stevia)
4 tablespoons Koni Mighty Athena Green Tea
5 cups of steaming hot water
5 cups of cold, filtered water
1 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
1 bottle chilled ginger ale
Handful of quartered strawberries and mint sprigs for garnish
Preparation:
To make simple syrup: In a small, sturdy saucepan, simmer syrup of 1 cup of hot water with 2 cups granulated sugar until dissolved, about 10 minutes; cool.
Use Method 2 to create large teabag containing 4 tablespoons of Koni Mighty Athena Tea. Add in 5 cups steaming hot water and steep for 5 minutes. Remove the teabag. Add the cold water.
Crush mint sprigs, fresh ginger and 1/4 cup simple syrup in large glass pitcher or punch bowl. Add ginger ale and the brewed Koni Mighty Athena tea. Garnish with mint and a handful of quartered strawberries or any seasonal fresh fruit. Taste and adjust with simple sugar and serve over ice. |
