My mom's fruit iced tea

My mom made the best fruit iced-tea I had ever tasted yesterday so I asked her for the recipe and decided to share it with you guys.

You'll need,
2 apples,
2 peaches,
2 apricots,
some ginger,
mint leaves (optional)
a few teabags,
one tablespoon of sugar/splenda,
lots of water


Peel the skin off the fruits and cut them into slices (you can keep the skin of the apples if you want to). Put everything inside a large pot and add a tablespoon of sugar or splenda if you want to cut calories. Fill 3/4 of the pot with water and bring it to a boil. Make a cup of concentrated tea using 3-4 teabags and add this to the pot while it's still hot. Grate some ginger on top and add some more water. Leave it in the fridge for a couple of hours until it's chilled and don't forget serve it with ice cubes and mint leaves for garnish. By the way, I always add a little more sugar into mine because I'm a sucker for everything sweet.

Bon appétit !
