Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 C orange juice
  • 2 C tea green, black, herbal, your choice - assorted
  • Ā¼ C water
  • 1 ginger root peeled and thinly sliced
  • Ā½ lemon fresh, thin, quartered slices - without seeds
  • 4 leaves fresh mint
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric ground

Instructions
 

  • Pour 1 C fresh orange juice, evenly divided, into ice tray. Cover.
  • Place in freezer for 2 hours or until juice is frozen.
  • On each cube, layer a few slices of ginger, lemon, mint leaves, or a sprinkle of turmeric.
  • Add just enough water to cover the above ingredients. Cover tray,
  • Place in freezer for 2 hours or until water is frozen.
  • Brew two or three cups of tea, of your choice (I like a variety). Place in fridge to cool.
  • Finish filling ice cube trays with chilled tea. Cover and freeze for several hours until solid.
  • Remove cubes from tray as needed. Heat cubes in a large mug or microwave safe bowl.
  • Serve hot in a tea cup or mug or on ice in a highball glass. Dilute with water if needed.

Notes

šŸ„•I love using these extra large, whiskey-size silicone ice trays. They're super flexible & easy to remove your ice cubes. They also come with a snap on lid which is so handy.
šŸ„•I used only one add-on ingredient (ginger, lemon, mint, etc) in each ice cube, but you can combine as many as you want. I like making distinct layers, (it's pretty) so keep that in mind as you add your ingredients.Ā
