Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon) produces some of the best quality teas in the world. Although this country is small it is the 4th largest producer of tea worldwide. I was given a chance to try the Aura brand of Ceylon Teas by
Almar Teas. Aura Teas come in a wonderful array of flavors from lemon, mint, strawberry, green and of course your traditional black tea. I loved all the flavors and I was excited to try to
make a recipe with the Strawberry tea. I decided to pair this beautifully fragrant strawberry tea with peaches. Now peaches are still not in season here in the US so I bought frozen peaches for my recipe. The frozen peaches actually worked great because I used them as the ice cubes in my smoothie as well. I blended this refreshing drink and enjoyed it knowing I was enjoying a smoothie that was full of antioxidants and health benefits.
Ingredients:
3 bags of Strawberry Aura Tea
2 cups of boiling water
1 cup of cool/ice water
2 cups of frozen sliced and skinned peaches
sweetener of your choice to taste (sugar, splenda, honey, or agave- I used agave)
Directions:
Boil 2 cups of tea and steep three tea bags for 3-5 minutes. Then add 1 cup of ice water to cool the tea down. Place tea, peaches and sweetener into blender. Blend until smooth. Makes 3-4 servings. Enjoy.
