Tried something new...(might have been done before?)

[Toni]

I was getting a bit bored with plain sparkiling water ( and its only day 5!!) ... so thought I'd experiment...

5 peppermint tea bags in 250mls boiling water, steap for 5 mins, squeeze em out, & stick the 250 mls of bloody strong PM tea in the fridge to completely cool.

Couple of hours later - 1/2 pint of sparkling water, add 3 teaspoons of the cold strong tea and hey presto! nice refreshing sparkling drinkies

I like!! see what you think... you might want to do say a 100 ml batch, therefore 2 pep tea bags, but I think I'll get through my lot in a couple of days, if not less!

 

[lillie]

sounds nice can you still taste the sparkling water though ?

 

[Toni]

well, its just sparkling peppermint instead, so no i guess! I only had mine quite weak too, so its prob down to personal taste

 

[lillie]

[coccinella]

Great idea Toni. Bet it is nice when the weather warms up with lots of crushed ice. Juliex

 

[lillie]

[coccinella]
