How to Make Licorice Mint Iced Tea
- Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a large pot over high heat.
- Add 1/4 cup of broken licorice root and 2 cinnamon sticks to the boiling water.
- Reduce heat to a simmer, partially cover the pot, and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Add 1 cup of fresh peppermint leaves, cover, and let steep for 10 minutes.
- Place a large strainer lined with cheesecloth or a damp paper towel over a large bowl or second pot.
- Carefully pour the tea through the strainer into the bowl, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Stir in honey to taste (start with 1/4 cup and adjust to your preferred sweetness). Let the tea cool completely, approximately 1 hour, or refrigerate to speed up the process.
- Serve over ice. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs (optional).
