Zubereitung von Cherry Mint Iced Tea
- Steep 4 tea bags (or 2 tablespoons loose leaf black tea) and 1 cup packed fresh mint leaves in 5 cups of freshly boiled water. Let it steep for 15-20 minutes for a strong brew.
- Remove tea bags or strain the tea mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher. Let it cool slightly to room temperature.
- In a separate saucepan, combine 3 cups of water and 1 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Remove from heat and let the sugar syrup cool completely.
- Once both the tea and sugar syrup have cooled, add 1 cup cherry juice and 1/2 cup lemon juice to the pitcher containing the tea.
- Pour in the cooled sugar syrup and stir gently to combine.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Stir well before serving. Pour over ice in tall glasses and garnish with fresh mint sprigs and a lemon wedge.
