How to Make Rosie O Grady S Minty Lemon Iced Tea

**Make the Simple Syrup:** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup water, and 8 mint sprigs. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
**Simmer:** Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves completely. Stir occasionally.
**Cool and Strain:** Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Strain the syrup into a blender, removing the mint sprigs.
**Blend Mint Syrup:** Add 1 cup packed fresh mint leaves to the blender and puree until smooth.
**Brew the Tea:** In a large saucepan, bring 8 cups of cold water to a boil. Remove from heat and add 8 tea bags. Steep for 5 minutes.
**Cool the Tea:** Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.
**Chill the Tea:** Transfer the cooled tea to a bowl and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
**Combine and Sweeten:** Pour the chilled tea into a pitcher. Add 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice and stir in 3/4 cup of the mint syrup (or more, to taste).
**Refrigerate Syrup:** Refrigerate the remaining mint syrup for later use.
**Serve:** Serve the iced tea in 8 tall glasses filled with ice. Garnish each glass with a mint sprig and a lemon slice.
**Make Ahead:** This iced tea can be refrigerated in a covered pitcher for up to 2 days.
