We save a lot of money by drinking water instead of juice, milk, or soda. I keep a pitcher of water full in the fridge so it’s cold and inviting. Even then, sometimes, it’s nice to have something flavorful to drink. Even better if it’s inexpensive and healthy too. Peppermint tea is my favorite summer beverage to add variety to the every day. I save even more by using 1 tea bag for 2 cups of water and letting it steep a little longer so it’s just as strong.
Peach Peppermint Tea is a fancier version of my favorite. I first tasted this tea at a wedding shower for my close friend. The shower was held in a victorian style cottage in a wooded area and everything about it was quaint, delicate and beautiful. They had tea sandwiches and petit fours with fresh berries. Everything was served on floral vintage china with mismatched pieces. Serving serfaces were softened with lace and cabbage rose printed table clothes. Dreamy….
The cold refreshing tea was sweetened with honey, but it’s also yummy with stevia. Here’s the simple recipe:
- 8 cups boiling water
- 4 peppermint tea bags
- 4 tablespoons honey (or 8 packets of truvia)
- 2 fresh peaches
Steep tea bags in boiling water for 5 minutes. Discard bags, pressing moisture from them back into the tea. Dissolve honey into the hot beverage and add sliced peaches. Cool until room temperature and then chill until ready to serve. Serves 8.
Yum! This sounds like a wonderful combination. Thank you for posting. I found you over at This Is How We Roll Thursdays link party. 🙂
Thank you for popping over and takign the time to leave a comment, Mommy’s Apron. I’m off to check out your site. I’m an apron girl for sure.
Cutting back on soda was a big way my husband and I started to save money! I love Peach tea and I definitely need to try this w/ peppermint tea! It must be delicious =)
Melanie, it is so yummy! This wasn’t a combo I would have naturally done, but after trying it–I’m convinced.
Yum, Ang that looks really good. I’m going to have to try this:) Thanks for sharing. Richelle~
This saves money and calories, too 🙂 I’m excited to try this!
Yes! If you want it calorie free, you can use just stevia to sweeten. I use a little bit of raw honey (adding after it cools down) to help with inflammation. It’s up to you.
Hmm I have peppermint and canned peaches ? Wonder if that could work ?!?! Off to try it or scrounge the freezer I may have frozen mango or peaches . Yeah! Thanks for the idea
