Hawaiian Iced Tea

 

Make tea to your taste and dip mint leaves in tea for 3 minutes. For each 14-ounce glass add: the juice of ˝ lemon, one tablespoon pineapple juice & three teaspoons sugar. Before serving add ice and a spear of fresh pineapple. Place in a cocktail shaker and shake well –place in icebox and chill. Garnish with long sprig of fresh mint and serve.

 

Serve with: frosted grapes, strawberries, sliced banana chunks, dipped in lime or lemon juice, a variety of melon balls & pineapple chunks. Combine these in a shallow crystal bowl which has had the rim frosted with slightly beaten egg whites & sugar (or a simple gorgeous cut crystal bowl will do). Serve with picks. Garnish bowl with small sprigs of mint.
