How to Make Iced Mint Tea

  1. Steep 1 cup of boiling water over 1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves and 2 green tea bags (or 1 teaspoon loose leaf green tea).
  2. Let the tea steep for 10-15 minutes to allow the mint and tea to infuse fully.
  3. Remove tea bags or strain the mint leaves from the tea, pressing gently to extract all the flavor.
  4. Let the tea cool completely. This can be accelerated by placing the pot in an ice bath.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (or 1/4 cup lime juice if preferred) and 2 tablespoons honey (or agave nectar for vegan version) to taste.
  6. Serve over ice in tall glasses. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig for an extra touch of freshness.
