Jasmine Tea Cranberry Cooler
(makes about 10 cups)
Preparation
- In a large saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to boil. Remove from heat and add 4 jasmine tea bags*. Steep for 3 minutes, and then remove bags. Add 3 cups of ice to the pot to chill the tea.
- When the tea is chilled, add 1 quart unsweetened cranberry juice. Stir to combine and serve over ice.
- Sweeten one cup at a time, if desired, with honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup. Alternatively, dissolve a larger quantity of sweetener in 1 cup of heated brewed tea and stir into entire batch.
*Jasmine Green Tea can be found in just about any store these days, but if the potency of Green Tea doesn’t sit well with you we also love Jasmine White Tea for this recipe.
