Tips:

  • Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but it will not be as flavorful.
  • Make sure the mint simple syrup is completely cooled before adding it to the iced tea. This will help to prevent the iced tea from becoming too diluted.
  • You can adjust the amount of mint simple syrup to taste. If you like a sweeter iced tea, add more syrup. If you prefer a less sweet iced tea, add less syrup.
  • Garnish the iced tea with fresh mint leaves and a lemon wedge for a refreshing presentation.
