Mint Iced Green Tea - A simple recipe.

Mint Iced Green Tea
-A Simple Recipe

Looking for a simple and refreshing drink? Try this easy recipe for Mint Iced Green Tea that will cool you down on a hot day. Enjoy the minty and soothing flavors in every sip.




What you will need

4 bags of Green Tea Honey Lemon Ginseng Celestial Seasonings

2 cups of room-temperature water

1 cup of hot water

Spearmint leaves 
(Put as many as you would like.)

Sweetener of your choice
If you are using sugar, add two tablespoons
(This will add some sweetness, but not too much.)



Making your drink...

Start by adding your tea bags to a pitcher.

Next, take your spearmint leaves and add them to your pitcher. 
(Make sure you rinse your leaves in warm water before adding them.
 I used some from my garden, so I wanted to ensure they were bug-free.) 

Pour 1 cup of hot water to completely cover your tea bags and leaves.

Now you are ready to pour the next two cups of water. 
Make sure you steep your tea bags in the water for about five minutes. This will help the flavors come together. 

After about five minutes, add in your sweetener. Stir it all, and serve over crushed ice.
You can use a few spearmint leaves as garnish.

Grab your drink, and enjoy!


Do you have a refreshing drink that you enjoy making during warmer weather?
I'd love to hear from you all.

    This sounds so refreshing and an amazing drink to make in the summer months! Right now it is raining outside, so I am in the mood for a hot chocolate, but over the weekend the gorgeous sunshine will be back and this will definitely be a tempting option.

    I have been LIVING for iced tea as of late. It's such a fun way to enjoy a cold drink without the negative ingredients included in many of our 'go to' drinks like soft drinks. Right? I recently won a large credit for Steeped Tea, so I stocked up on some fun flavours!

    Love it! Been doing this with lemon balm leaves. Does this work with wild mint? I'm vaiting for better weather to harvest some for recipes and for the tea.

      Preparing with lemon balm sounds wonderful! That's a great question about wild mint. I've only used the mint I planted in my garden. I think the wild mint could also work. It's definitely something worth trying and experimenting with. Thank for for visiting.

Succulent Centerpiece using Dollar Tree Items

Looking to add some greenery to your space?  Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to create a quick and simple succulent display using a round baking pan from Dollar Tree. I completed this craft a while ago, but forgot to share it with you. It's an easy project, and all the materials—except for the spray paint—were purchased at Dollar Tree. You can make this lovely decoration in just 10 minutes. Let’s get started on this succulent decoration together! Materials -One baking pan -Spray paint -Stones/rocks -Crushed glass -Artificial succulents -One glass candle holder Start by applying spray paint to the baking pan. I had a bronze color from a previous project, and it would be a great opportunity to use it again. When applying spray paint, make sure to cover the surrounding area and ensure that the space is well-ventilated.  Once you have painted the pan, allow the paint to dry. I used a heating tool to speed up the drying process, but if you prefer, you can let it air dry, which m...

Keeping Blogging Positive: The Do’s and Don’ts of Community Support

The Do’s and Don’ts in a Blogging Community If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years of blogging, it’s that the community can be one of the best parts of the whole experience — when we’re actually supporting each other. Blogging isn’t just hitting publish and hoping someone reads it. It’s connecting, showing up for one another, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome to share their voice. But let’s be honest: not every corner of the blogging world feels that way. Sometimes people forget that behind every blog is a real person doing their best. So I wanted to put together a simple, down‑to‑earth list of do’s and don’ts — the things that genuinely help build a positive blogging community, and the things that… well, don’t. Nothing complicated, nothing dramatic. Just the kind of common‑sense, supportive habits that make blogging more enjoyable for all of us. The Do’s: How We Can Lift Each Other Up Do show support in ways that feel natural to you Support doesn’t have to b...

Lately: Things That Have Made My Heart Happy

Lately, I’ve been holding onto the small things—the gentle, unexpected moments that slip in between the busy ones and remind me how much beauty there is in simply being here, together. We’re almost stepping into April, and even though this month has brought its share of mishaps and little detours, it has also offered us so many soft, shining memories. The kind that settle in quietly and stay. These are the moments that have made my heart happy… Welcoming Spring With Fresh Flowers One morning at the market, I picked up a small bundle of spring flowers—nothing extravagant, just simple blooms in soft colors that felt like a whisper of the season ahead. Bringing them home and placing them on the table instantly brightened the whole space. It felt like inviting spring inside, letting a little bit of newness and hope settle into our everyday rhythm. Sunsets That Slow the World Down Evening after evening, the sky has been putting on a show—warm gold melting into rose, fading into deep violet....
