Cherry-Kissed Black Iced Tea

A yogi student served me a version of this tea one day when I went to her for a much needed hair cut.  Arriving exhausted and sweaty from the DC summer heat, it was the perfect refreshing beverage to cool me down.  I experimented with different black teas and found that darjeeling works well.  You can also opt for cranberry juice instead of cherry, but they are both de-lish.

yields approx. 1 pitcher 

Ingredients

  • 5 cups of water, boiled
  • appropriate amount of black tea for water (3-4 bags or 3-4 tbsp of looseleaf)
  • 1-2 cups of tart cherry juice
  • 2-3 sprigs of mint
Instructions
Prepare tea in pitcher and cool off in refrigerator.  Once its cold (prior to serving), add cherry juice and mint leaves.
mangia!
