Recipe makes: about 8 servings
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Recipe Ingredients:
3 nectarines, roughly chopped (can also use any other fruit, such as peaches or berries – whatever you have or prefer!)
1 box green tea bags, decaffeinated
2 tbsp honey
Lots of ice for cooling and serving
Recipe Directions:
In a small pot, combine chopped fruit and honey. Cook on medium heat until softened, about 10 minutes. Blend in a blender or food processor until smooth (I used an emersion blender but use what you have). Pour through a sieve into your pitcher (it may need to be stirred to help pass it through).
Bring about 2L of water to a boil. Once boiled, steep a full box of green tea bags in the water for about 10 minutes. This may seem like a lot, but your tea will become diluted when you pour it over ice, so it needs to be stronger than normal.
Add lots of ice to your pitcher, about ¼ full. Pour steeped tea into pitcher and mix to combine with fruit puree.
When ready to serve, add extra ice to your glass and pour your desired serving. Enjoy!
