the former inn's recipe archive:
Dairy
Hollow House Iced Herbal Cooler
When the
mercury rose to about 75º, every Dairy Hollow House guest used to find
an icy quart jar of this awaiting them in their in-room fridge.
Caffeine-free, red as the neck of a ruby-throated hummingbird (such as
guests might've spied, while sipping on the Farmhouse porch, or having
breakfast there), this is delicious and extraordinarily refreshing. It
was also one of the inn's most frequently requested recipes.
- 8 1/2 cups water, preferably
filtered or spring
- 8 hibiscus-type herb tea bags,
such as Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger
- 1 12-ounce can frozen apple
juice concentrate, thawed
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 lemon, sliced
- For garnish: fresh sprigs of
spearmint or pineapple mint, and/or honeysuckle sprigs
1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
Drop in tea bags, remove from heat, and let stand till lukewarm.
Remove teabags and squeeze them, to get every drop of flavor. Discard
"squoze" tea bags.
2. Combine steeped herb tea with
juice concentrate, the reserved cold water, and fruit slices. Chill
deeply.
3. Serve, preferably in chilled
glasses, garnished with mint and/or honeysuckle.
