Best Iced Tea Mojito Virgin Recipes
MOJITO ICED TEA
This cold-brewed iced tea comes from Maricel Presilla, who serves it at her Latin restaurant Zafra in Hoboken, N.J. Oolong tea scented with osmanthus flowers, or with a sliced peach and its pit, suggests the sweet aroma of white rum. Fresh mint, lime and lemon balm are added and it sits for at least 4 hours or overnight. Sweeten with sugar and serve over ice.

GREEN TEA MOJITO
We've all heard of the health benefits of green tea these day, haven't we? Yes we have...thus I will dare to rationalize my little cocktail as being healthy in my mind! LOL. The flavor of the green tea is apt to get lost with the strong flavors of the rum and lime so resist the urge to add more of these ingredients. I recommend Tazo Zen Green tea blend as I think it has enough umph to stand on its own here. Original idea came from the Mellow Monk. Adapted to suit my tastes.
