I drink lots of iced tea during the summer, but I often don't have time to brew it myself. I also like to keep some packaged tea cold and ready to drink in the fridge. I don't, however, like tea that tastes too processed or that has compromised genuine flavor for sugar. I recently sampled Lipton's Pure Leaf tea; it was the first time trying this new variety. I really enjoyed the unsweetened variety, and I was able to use the sweetened varieties in some fun new recipes.
Here is my fave, a version of the fruit smoothie!
FRUIT-TEA SMOOTHIES
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
- 16 ounces Pure Leaf Iced Tea with Lemon or Pure Leaf Unsweetened Iced Tea
- Chilled 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 cup fat free vanilla ice cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
My store didn't carry the fat-free ice cream, so I used light. We also did this recipe with the Lemon sweetened tea. It came out deliciously, and the kids could taste the tea, but didn't know exactly what it was. They gobbled it up!
If you are looking for a unique way to serve up refreshing drinks (and even a few yummy meals), cooking with tea is a tasty option. Get more information on this delightful tea at the official Pure Leaf Facebook page! You can also sample more delicious recipes in their recipe collection!
