Pear and peppermint are a quiet but convincing pair: sweet, grainy fruit on one side, a cool herbal breeze on the other. Half an apple adds a little crunch of acidity.
1
pear ripe, cored
½
red apple cored
5 oz
peppermint tea brewed and fully cooled
Garnish: A small mint sprig · Ice: Served up, no ice
Mild and fruity with a smooth body and a clean, cool mint finish.
This is a simple orchard fruit smoothie with a twist in the liquid. Peppermint tea brings the cooling effect of menthol without any sugar, while the pear supplies sweetness and a creamy body. Apples and pears both contain fibre, most of it in and just under the skin, so leave them unpeeled if the skin is thin. The result is light enough for a warm afternoon and mild enough for breakfast.
Yes. Blend 6 to 8 leaves with cold water instead of the tea.
Yes, it contains only fruit and herbal tea.
Not necessary. Wash it well; peeling only makes sense if the skin is thick or you want a very smooth texture.
