This afternoon I added some ice tea to half a tall glass (to measure) and poured it into the Vitamix. Then I pitted a fresh peach (left skin on) and added that along with some fresh mint. I blended it up and then added ice to the tall glass to measure again and then added it to the container. Very refreshing. Might need a bit more sweetner but a good first attempt. Fresh mint is wonderful!

I am glad you liked it. I can't believe I am comfortable enough now to just

experiment and not follow a true recipe.

At a farmer's market had some ice tea with citrus slices in a big jar. I think

what I am liking about my ice tea concoction is the slushie factor. It is

probably all good. Just like Teavana blends all these different flavors, think

our ice teas will be different and flavorful. Keep posting different

combinations, please.

Hi everyone,

I haven't been " around " lately (well, actually a few months) and I know I've

missed valuable informatiom from all of you.

I'm just wondering when you put mint in your iced tea, is there a particular

kind of mint you use? I was at my local nursery yesterday and noticed in their

fresh grown herb section, there was peppermint and spearment. I'd like to buy

one, but which would you suggest? And you just put in some of the leaves in

your drink, right?

Thanks,

April :-)

I think it is all personal taste. I stumbled upon orange mint and it has been

thriving in my container garden. I have heard not to just plant any sort of

mint because it will spread out of control. If you have the space, try a few

varieties. I also have a pineapple mint growing and am looking for ginger mint.

Cross pollination might be a good thing.

You are probably right so I defer to your knowledge. However, it sounded like a

great experiment.
