5 star, cheap to make Tea's

White Tea Sangria
Mix together:


ONE PART cold tea (green tea or the standard version --depending on your preference).
ONE PART apple juice
TWO PARTS cheap white wine (preferably dry).

Serve over ice.


*Green Tea Sangria:
Mix together:
One part green tea (it's OK to brew this up with hot water first), one part orange juice and two parts cheap red wine, such as Lambrusco. If you are using tea bags you can leave them in the jug with the other ingredients. Drink straightaway or refrigerate. Serve over ice.

Chilled Green Tea: There's a trick to making green tea for cold consumption. Make your tea with cold water -- don't use boiling or even hot water to brew your leaves -- as hot water releases the bitter flavours. You may find the Chinese green teas less astringent than others. However, flavoured green tea blends will offer you a range of flavour choices(eg: peach, paw paw, mint, etc). Place your tea leaves -- leaves or tea bags -- in a jug. Pour in the cold water and refrigerate. Start drinking 4-6 hours later. No sugar need be added.


Apple Lassi: Stir briskly together one part plain yoghurt and one or two parts apple juice. Variations to your preference. Drink immediately.
