How to Make Fabulous Mint Tea

In a large heatproof jar or pitcher, pour 2 cups (475ml) of boiling water over 1 cup (approximately 14-20 large leaves) of fresh mint leaves and 2 tea bags (e.g., black tea or green tea).
Steep for 30 minutes, allowing the mint and tea to infuse fully.
In a separate container, combine 2 cups (475ml) of boiling water with 1/4 cup (60ml) of fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons (25g) of granulated sugar (or to taste). Stir until sugar dissolves completely.
Allow the lemon-sugar mixture to cool completely before adding to the tea mixture.

Add cold water to adjust the strength of the tea to your liking. Add ice and garnish generously with fresh mint sprigs.
