How to Make Mint Sweet Iced Tea

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Remove from heat and add 4-6 black tea bags (adjust to your preferred strength). Steep for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove the tea bags and let the mixture cool slightly. Pour the tea into a pitcher filled with ice to rapidly chill it down.
  4. Once cooled, add 1/2 cup of mint extract and stir gently to combine.
  5. Serve immediately over ice in tall glasses. Garnish with a mint sprig (optional) if you have some on hand!
  6. Enjoy your incredibly refreshing and easy-to-make mint sweet iced tea!
