Peach and Mint Iced Tea

Peach and Mint Iced Tea

This recipe sounded great when I was reading The Kind Diet. 

I decided to make it last week, and we ended up drinking two pitchers of it.

I used the kukicha teabags, but the original recipe also says you can use green teabags.

I think any kind you like would work!

I sliced the peaches in large slices, but you could do much thinner slices.

Boil 8 c of water and add your teabags, allowing them to steep for 10 minutes.

Remove the teabags and add sweetener if desired, fresh mint, and sliced peaches.

Chill and serve.

Refreshing, and a great flavor!

Roasted Brown Rice Tea

Roasted Brown Rice Tea

On my trip to Jungle Jim's last week I picked up an interesting looking bag of Roasted Brown Rice, not having a clue what I would do with it!

I put most of my grains and beans in containers and have written the name and expiration date on the outside.  I need to pick up a fat-tip Permanent Marker so the label is easier to see.  The good thing about Permanent Marker on glass is that it cleans right off.

The roasted brown rice is packaged with popcorn to draw the moisture away.

It's easy to make the tea.

In a small saucepan you boil 2 cups water and 2 Tbsp roasted brown rice.

Let simmer for 5 minutes, strain and serve.

I added a little brown rice syrup for sweetener but unless you're using a lot of sweetener, it retains its nutty flavor.

I drank most of it before I remembered to snap a photo!
