Minty Tea Punch

Minty Tea Punch

I am always on the look out for something cool and refreshing on hot summer days to drink.  One of my favorites is iced tea with lemon.  In today's recipe, iced tea is flavored with orange juice, lemon juice, and mint.   MMM - delicious, refreshing and a wonderful thirst quencher.  You begin by brewing some tea bags with fresh mint.  To the tea mixture you add lemon juice, orange juice and sugar.  Refrigerate until cold.  Serve it over ice.  Then  enjoy a nice summer beverage that is sure to help you beat the heat.
