How to Make Mint Tea
- Boil 4 cups of water in a saucepan.
- Add 2 cups of fresh mint leaves, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 2 tea bags (black tea or green tea recommended) to a heat-safe container or teapot.
- Pour the boiling water over the tea, mint, and lemon zest. Steep for 12 minutes, allowing the flavors to fully infuse.
- Remove the tea bags and mint leaves using a fine-mesh sieve or slotted spoon. Gently press the mint leaves against the sieve to extract maximum flavor.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of sugar (or to taste). Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add 8 cups of cold water to the tea mixture and stir gently to combine.
- Serve immediately over ice for an extra refreshing treat. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and a lemon wedge if desired.
