How to Make Lemon Mint Tea

  1. In a large pitcher, combine 4 cups of boiling water, 4 black tea bags (or 2 family size), and 1 cup of fresh mint leaves.
  2. Cover the pitcher and let the tea steep for 7 minutes.
  3. Remove the tea bags and discard them. Gently squeeze the mint leaves to extract more flavor.
  4. Stir in 2 cups of lemonade, 1/2 cup of orange juice, and 2 cups of cold water.
  5. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully blend and chill.
  6. Before serving, strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into ice-filled glasses.
  7. Garnish with a lemon wedge and a sprig of mint, if desired.
