Mint Iced Tea is a refreshing and cooling beverage, made with brewed green or black tea, infused with fresh mint leaves, and a splash of lemon juice. The tea is chilled and served over ice, creating a rejuvenating drink that’s perfect for warm days. It’s lightly aromatic, with a balance of herbal and citrusy flavors.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

500 ml water
2 teaspoons green tea or black tea leaves
15-20 fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Ice cubes
Lemon slices and extra mint leaves for garnish

Procedure:

Boil the water, then remove from heat. Add the tea leaves (or tea bags) and half of the mint leaves. Let it steep for 5-7 minutes, then strain and allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, stir in lemon juice and the remaining fresh mint leaves.
Place the tea in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill.
Pour the chilled tea into glasses filled with ice cubes. Garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves.

Nutritional Benefits:
