Fresh garden mint iced tea #shorts

When mint is in season, there’s nothing more I love to make than fresh garden mint iced tea!

INGREDIENTS

- 2 cups mint leaves, washed and picked off stems
- 4 cups water, separated (depending on strength desired)
- 2 green tea bags
- 1 lemon
- honey or sugar to taste (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS  

- In a large measuring glass, pour 2 cups of boiling water over the prepared mint leaves and tea bags. Steep for 10-15 minutes. If leaves are steeped too long, the tea will become bitter.
- In a pitcher strain and discard leaves.

- Add 2 cups cold water, juice of one lemon, honey, and ice.
