How to Make Mint Iced Tea
- In a large teapot, combine the tea bags, orange zest, mint leaves, and cloves.
- Boil 8 cups of water in a kettle.
- Carefully pour the boiling water over the tea bags and other ingredients in the teapot.
- Add 1 cup of sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference) and stir until completely dissolved.
- Cover the teapot and let the tea steep for at least 30 minutes, or until completely cool. For a stronger brew, steep for up to an hour.
- Once cool, strain the tea through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pitcher filled with ice.
- Stir in 1 cup of fresh grapefruit juice. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Serve immediately over ice in large glasses. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs, if desired.
