For the Dog Days of Summer, A Reader's Recipe for Iced Red Envelope Tea
One of our readers, Melanie in Oregon, passed along kind words and a recipe for iced tea made with our popular Red Envelope Blend herbal tea. Perfect for keeping cool during the heatwave they're having up in Oregon this week or anywhere that's suffering in midsummer heat. Melanie, thanks for sharing!Your teas are beautiful! I've enjoyed your Red Envelope Blend at Zao Noodle Bar in Tigard, Oregon, numerous times, and always keep some at home. I've been making sun tea with it. Here's my recipe:
- Place 1/3 cup loose tea in 1 gallon cold water
- Set jug in the sun for for 1.5 hours
- For those who are concerned about sun tea, try placing the jug in the refrigerator overnight instead of in the sun
In answer to Melanie's question, yes, the blend does contain stevia, the "sweetning herb."
