Pineapple Mint Iced Tea

Emily — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 14:48:41 +0000

Got this off a can of Dole pineapple or pineapple juice. I’ve had it for years and never tried it until just recently. It was delicious! I made it for a large gathering so I was shopping at Sam’s for pineapple juice, and all they had was pineapple-peach-mango juice, so that’s actually what I used.

2 c peppermint herbal tea
2 c pineapple juice
ice
lemon slices

Brew the peppermint tea and let cool to at least room temperature. Mix with pineapple juice, add ice, and garnish with lemon slices.

Carol’s Spiced Cider

Found this recipe online while browsing for ideas for my husband’s birthday party last month, which we had outside by a bonfire. This was a hit. (I have no idea who Carol is!) I decided right away to use it this year on Thanksgiving Day, and will likely use it Christmas Eve as well.

1 gallon apple cider
4 small cinnamon sticks
20 whole cloves

Put all in the slow cooker or crockpot and and turn on high until hot and then turn on low or just put on low and leave it. Serve from the slow cooker or crockpot all day.

Cucumber Citrus Water

Emily — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 02:07:02 +0000

Had this several years ago at a spa and it’s so yummy! We usually just drink water with our meals, but I like to make this on special occasions.

1 orange, thinly sliced
1/2 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
a few crushed mint leaves

Add the above ingredients to a pitcher of water, chill and serve. Flavors will become more intense the longer it sits.
