Grape Tea in a Jiffy

I was feeling really sad that I couldn't send in an entry to AFAM this month. Grapes are hopelessly out of season and I had given up hope of sending in anything interesting. Incidentally, I had to come to our office in Gurgaon on a two-day visit. When I walk into the breakout area here, what did I see? A bowl of red grapes!! I pounced on them! I sat at my desk and contemplated what I should do with them. I googled for some easy recipes with grape and hey preso! There it was.


I went back to our micro-kitchen in office and whipped it up, literally. Tasted good and considering I am not much of an ice tea lover, this tasted pretty interesting.

NB: I am quite amused by my own craziness in the office and the length to which I went to actually come up with this entry. Hope Swapna will accept it, though its three days late!

Grape Tea

I tried to get the white patches off the grapes, didn't work.
Also, couldn't spend much time on the pic since I was in office!

What I Used:

Fresh red grapes - 7-8
Tea bags - 2
Cold water - 2 cups
Lemon juice - 1 tbsp (I used dabur lemon syrup)
Sugar - 3-4 tsp

How I Made It:

Immerse the tea bags in cold water till the required strengh is acquired for your tea.

Blend this will all ingredients in a blender.

Serve cold

This is my entry to this month's AFAM hosted by Swapna and to 'Fresh Produce of the Month', hosted by chemcookit.

I am also sending this to the "Serve me Some…Juices, Shakes, Smoothies" event at Cook Curry Nook.
