For the sandwich:

  • 6 slices sourdough bread

  • Pesto, for spreading
  • Handful of microgreens and sprouts
  • 2 vine ripe tomatoes or heirloom tomatoes, sliced

Instructions

  1. For the tea, bring 32 ounces of water to a boil.
  2. Add the tea and stir.  Let steep and cool completely.
  3. Pour the cooled tea into a pitcher, and stir in sugar or honey if desired for added sweetness.
  4. Add ice and garnish with orange slices and basil leaves.

For the sandwiches:

  1. Brush the slices of bread with mayonnaise on each side.  Toast both sides until lightly golden.
  2. Spread the pesto on the toasted bread then add two slices of provolone.  Add just a touch of water to the surface of the griddle then cover the bread until the cheese has melted.
  3. Once the cheese has melted, add the rest of the toppings: 2 slices salami, 3 slices tomato, 2 slices of pickles, and a generous handful of microgreens, respectively.  Fold the sandwich over and press gently for about 30 seconds.
  4. Repeat the process if serving more sandwiches.
  5. Serve alongside the iced tea and enjoy!
