I'm loving.......

I'm loving Iced Tea at the moment. 

I am loving experimenting with different flavours and when I saw Jamie Oliver make some Hibiscus Iced Tea on tv the other day I had to make some to!

I think it is perfect for this scorching weather we are having!

This is not Jamie's recipe but it is similar.

Ingredients

For the tea:

• 4 berry-hibiscus herbal tea bags (recommended: Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger)
• 4 cups water
• 1/2 cup simple syrup, or to taste
• 1/2 orange, cut into wedges
• 1/2 lime, cut into wedges
• 8 frozen raspberries

For the simple syrup:

• 1/4 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Put tea bags in a heatproof pitcher.

In a saucepan bring water just to a boil and pour over tea bags.Steep tea 5 minutes and remove tea bags. Cool tea and chill, covered, until cold, about 1 hour.

Stir in simple syrup, to taste. Squeeze orange and lime wedges into tea and add wedges. Serve tea in tall glasses. Garnish with frozen raspberries.

To prepare the simple syrup:

Add sugar and water to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute; stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Let syrup cool.

Doesn't it sound delish?!
