Victoria's Refreshing Ginger Tea Drink

Here is a refreshing summer drink that you and your loved ones will take a liking to.  With the hot weather here we all need to drink plenty of liquids to stay hydrated!

INGREDIENTS

4 Cups Boiling Water

15 Individual Green Tea Bags

3 Cups White Grape Juice

1 Cup Apple Juice

2 Tablespoons Honey

2 Tablespoons Minced Fresh Ginger

2 Tablespoons Fresh Mint Leaves

1 Green Apple Sliced For Garnish

In a slow cooker combine the boiling water and the tea bags.  If you don’t have a slow cooker you can make this on the stove in a large pot on simmer.  Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.  Throw away the tea bags and stir in the grape juice, apple juice, honey and ginger.  Cover and cook on low for 3 hours or until heated through.  Strain and transfer to a large covered pitcher (or two covered pitchers).  Place in the fridge for at least 6 hours.  When ready to serve pour into glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves and apple slices.  Makes about 2 quarts.
