“One Green Planet” posted this recipe and since all of the ingredients can be found in the RPAH low natural food chemical lists, I thought I would reproduce it here for a cold drink inspiration for your holiday and New Year celebrations.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 litres of water
- 1 tsp saffron threads
- 3 sprigs of parsley
- 1/2 a vanilla bean
- 2 ripe pears, peeled
Method:
- Peel and chop the pears into small squares
- Freeze half to use in the drink glasses when you serve the iced tea
- Place the remaining ingredients into a saucepan and bring to the boil
- Cover and reduce the heat, then simmer for 10 minutes
- Remove from the heat and let the mixture stand for 20 minutes for the flavours to develop
- Strain and then refrigerate until cold
- Serve with ice cubes and frozen pear squares
Serving suggestions:
- Serve over ice with frozen pear
- For more fizz…serve with some soda water
- Add a little gin or vodka if you wish to include alcohol
