To save costs on groceries and to improve health, I recommend drinking water.  Sometimes when we have guests or on a specially hot day, we crave something with more flavor.  This tea is very inexpensive, has healthful benefits from the mint, is calorie free,  and sweetened naturally with stevia.

2 Pure Peppermint Tea Bags

1 gallon of water, divided

80 drops Stevia Clear Liquid Apricot 2 Ounces

Bring 1 quart of water to a boil ina stainless steel pan.  Remove from heat and add 2 tea bags.  Cover with a lid and leave overnight.  In the morning, discard the tea bags and pour liquid into a gallon pitcher.   Add enough cool water to make a gallon and 80 apricot stevia drops.  Stir well and keep in the refrigerator.  16- 1 cup servings. 

There are about $.30 worth of mint and $.90 worth of stevia in this recipe–for $1.20 a gallon or 7 cents a serving
