Orange Mint Tea
I received this tea recipe from a friend that I meet in Nashville, Tennessee. It is so simple that I was actually able to write it all down on the back of a napkin. It is the perfect beverage to serve at luncheons and afternoon get togethers or for when you are just looking for an escape from the summer's heat.
