Preparation Steps

  • Boil 2 cups of water. Add 6 tea bags to the boiling water and let steep for 15 minutes without stirring. Add sweetener if desired.
  • Remove tea bags without squeezing, to avoid bitterness. Combine brewed tea with remaining 4 cups of cold water and fresh mint leaves.
  • Refrigerate the tea mixture until chilled.
  • Serve over ice with fresh lemon slices.

Notes

For a sweeter tea, add honey or sugar while the tea is hot. Mint leaves can be gently muddled for stronger flavor.
