Calabro's Iced Tea is a refreshing and invigorating beverage that combines the natural flavors of ginger, mint, and lemon with the comforting essence of peppermint tea. To prepare, fresh ginger root and mint leaves are simmered with water and sugar to create a fragrant and flavorful syrup. Peppermint tea bags are steeped in the syrup, infusing the brew with a cooling and aromatic minty taste. Finally, freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a zesty citrus kick, while lemon slices garnish the drink for visual appeal. Served over ice, Calabro's Iced Tea offers a perfect balance of sweetness, herbal freshness, and citrus tang, making it an ideal choice for hot summer days or casual gatherings.
