Rhubarb-Iced-Tea Recipes

Tasty rhubarb-iced-tea variations including lemon-flavored-tea are nice and refreshing on a hot day. These tea recipes are also fairly quick and quite easy to make.

The nice thing is, they demand no special ingredients (except the rhubarb of course) either. Most of us have tea-bags, honey and cinnamon in our cupboards. I always have to go out for lemons though depending on the recipe. Lemon juice from the bottom doesn't always fit, especially if you want a very nice looking garnish for your recipe. Fresh lemon is always much nicer and lemon slices add a lovely visual appeal to a jug full of tea.

Do try these recipes, you may be left wishing you made more.
