ICED SWEET MINT TEA



Iced Sweet Mint Tea image

If you enjoy having a soothing, refreshing glass of iced tea in the summertime, I hope you will try my version of sweet mint tea. I grew up drinking mint tea and still enjoy it so very much today. If you don't care for sugar in your tea, just leave it out, it will still be just as satisfying.

Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 bags single serving tea (caffinated or decafe)
2 quarts boiling water
10 sprigs mint
1 cup sugar (or to taste)
2 lemons, sliced

Steps:

  • In large tea pot (or two small tea pots) pour boiling water over tea bags and mint and allow to steep for 20 minutes.
  • Place sugar in 2-quart pitcher (that will tolerate some heat).
  • Pour freshly brewed tea (minus mint and tea bags) into sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • Place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • To serve, pour into tall glasses over ice.
  • Serve with lemon slices.
  • Serves 8.

Tips:

  • Fresh mint leaves: For the best flavor, use fresh mint leaves. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Green tea: You can use any type of green tea for this recipe, but a light, delicate tea like sencha or jasmine green tea works best.
  • Spices: The spices in this recipe are cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon. You can adjust the amount of each spice to suit your taste. If you don't have any of these spices, you can use a pre-made chai tea blend.
  • Honey: Honey is the traditional sweetener for spiced mint tea, but you can use any sweetener you like. Agave nectar or maple syrup are good alternatives.
  • Milk: You can add milk or cream to your spiced mint tea if you like. This will make the tea richer and creamier.

Conclusion:

Spiced mint tea is a delicious and refreshing beverage that is perfect for any time of day. It is easy to make and can be customized to your taste. With its combination of mint, spices, and green tea, this tea is a great way to relax and unwind.
