Citrus and peppermint tea
5 minutes Preparation time
7 hours Cooking time

Ingredients
1 orange, sliced to 3mm thickness
30 g lemon verbena leaves
60 g mint leaves
Method
- Wash and dry the ingredients in a salad spinner to remove any debris.
- Line perforated baking trays with baking paper and lay the ingredients in a single layer.
- Dry lemon verbena and mint for 3 – 4 hours in the Warming Drawer on Plate Warm setting 1.
- Dry orange slices in the oven on Fan Plus at 85°C for 3 hours with the Crisp function activated. Turn oranges over halfway through the drying process.

Hints and tips
- Try a mix of other citrus and herbs: lemon slices and borage flowers would be delicious, as would chamomile and ginger.
- Tea blends can be served hot or over ice for a cold option.
