How to Make Green Jasmine Mint Iced Tea With Lemon

  1. Gently heat 4 cups of water until steaming (just before boiling).
  2. In a heat-resistant pitcher or teapot, combine 2 tablespoons loose green jasmine tea leaves and 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves.
  3. Pour the steaming water over the tea and mint. Steep for 2-3 minutes, ensuring not to over-steep.
  4. Strain the tea into a large pitcher using a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the leaves.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons honey until the honey is completely dissolved.
  6. Add 4 cups of cold water to the pitcher.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the tea to chill thoroughly.
  8. Serve over ice. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs, if desired.
