Mint and Almond Teas
Think of these teas as Methodist chardonnay. Methodists rarely drown their grief in anything stronger than flavored tea. Mint tea and almond tea are refreshing in the Delta summer and won't cause you to say things you regret later. The mint tea is a legacy of a long-gone local minister. (No doubt some rector of St. James' has passed down his favorite highball recipe.)
Almond Tea Ingredients
4 cups strongly brewed tea
3/4 cup water
1 can (60-ounce) frozen lemonade, thawed
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons almond extract or mint extract as you prefer (a little goes a long way)
Combine all ingredients. Stir it until the sugar is dissolved, and serve over ice.
Makes about twelve cups.
