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!

DeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteBritt, yes so true about the negative ingredients included in many drinks. I love having iced tea now that it has been so hot out. I am sure you will be enjoying those fun flavors. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Deletethis looks so yummy! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting. I've never had mint green iced tea before.

ReplyDeleteTarahlynn, thank you very much! Looking forward to your party this week. :)
DeleteLove 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.
ReplyDeletePreparing 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.
DeleteOh this sounds so good!!
