Ingredients
- 8-10 Sprigs Fresh Mint , rinsed
- 1 Lemon
- honey , to Taste
- Ice Cubes
- 4 cups Water (1 Liter)
Instructions
- Place the mint sprigs in a large heatproof jug/pitcher. Boil the water and pour it into the jug/pitcher. Let it steep for 30 minutes.
- Once the water is warm (not hot) add in a tablespoon of honey and mix until the honey has dissolved.
- Place the jug in your fridge to chill. Keep it in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
- Right before serving, squeeze in some lemon juice (don’t put too much, maybe 1/4 of a lemon – taste it first before adding more) and mix well.
- Serve with a few slices of lemon, mint leaves and ice.
Notes
The more ice you add the lighter the flavor. If you prefer strong mint taste, I suggest you put more mint in! If you use dried mint to make this tea, you will achieve darker color and stronger flavor.
