Mediterranean Delights 

Sparkling Mocktail
8 servings

3 cups boiling water
5 tea bags
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups chilled 100 % purple grape juice, or 100 % cranberry juice
1 orange, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
1 lime, sliced
Chilled club soda
1.   In a large teapot, or saucepan, pour boiling water over tea bags, cover and steep for 5 minutes.  Remove tea bags and squeeze over spoon to allow all tea to drain from tea bags.  Stir in sugar.  Allow to cool.

2.   In a large pitcher, combine tea with juice, orange slices, lemon slices, and lime slices. Reserve a total of 8 slices to garnish each glass at serving time.   Chill, covered for about 2 hours. 

3.   Immediately before serving, fill 8 glasses with ice cubes.  Add a splash of chilled club soda (about 3/4 cup) to the pitcher and pour over ice cubes in each glass.  Garnish with the reserved lemon or lime slices.  Enjoy!
