DRIED FRUIT AND HERBAL TEA
Copliments of Jyll Renee, Master Herbologist
2 Lemons zest removed witha a vegetable peeler and finely chopped
2 oranges zest removed and chopped
1 3in piece ginger peeled and finely chopped
1/2 fennel bulb trimmed and finely chopped
1 cup packed mint leaves (fresh or dried)
1 cup dried cranberries or chopeed dried apricots
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F
Toss lemon zest, orange zest, ginger and fennel together and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Scatter mint on a second parchment lined baking sheet place in oven stirring occasionally until both are dried 10-15 minutes for the mint, and 45 minutes for the ginger mixture. Crumble mint into bowl and toss with ginger mixture then add cranberries or apricot and toss. For each serving of tea use 2 table spoons of mixture together with one cup hot water for 3-5 minutes. Strain and serve with honey or agave nectar to sweeten if desired. I used spearmint but any kind of mint would be wonderful! Experiment! Package the loose tea in beautiful jars makes an excellent gift. Debbie added a tea ball strainer to the package for a complete gift set.
