Lemon Mint Tea

This blend of lemon, chamomile, and mint refreshes and soothes at the same time. It’s delicious sweetened with honey. 

1½ quarts cold water 

6 black tea with lemon-flavor teabags 

3 chamomile teabags 

6 sprigs fresh mint 

Pour the cold water into the bean pot and add the teabags and fresh mint. Cover and heat on 300 degrees for 1.5 hours, or until the water begins to simmer. 

Remove and discard the teabags and mint. Serve the tea immediately or keep it warm in the Bean Pot.

CRUNCHY PUNCH

3 small packages flavored gelatin, any flavor
9 cups boiling water
4 cups sugar
4 cups boiling water
16 ounces lemon juice
2-46 ounce containers of pineapple juice
2 liters of 7UP® or ginger ale

Directions
Dissolve gelatin in nine cups of boiling water.
Dissolve sugar in 4 cups of boiling water.
Mix together all ingredients except for 7UP® (or gingerale).
Pour mixture into four ½-gallon containers (I use milk jugs), then seal.
Freeze for 36 hours.
Several hours prior to serving, remove containers from freezer and place in refrigerator to partially thaw.
When ready to serve, add 7UP® (or gingerale).
Punch should be icy and crunchy.

Tips:

•Chill a Celebrating Home stoneware bean pot or serving pitcher for 20 minutes in the freezer prior to serving, then add punch. Because our stoneware is designed with insulative qualities, the punch will stay colder longer if served in it instead of a conventional punch bowl or pitcher.

•This is a good recipe to make with your kids.  Let them add everything but the boiling water (you do that!).  Watch them giggle as the gelatin adds color and the 7Up® makes the punch fizz.
