Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons (sliced) fresh ginger
- 4 cups water
- 2 black tea bags
- 10 (roughly torn) fresh mint leaves
- 1 (juiced and zest reserved) lemon
- 3 tablespoons (or to taste) honey
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 4 (for garnish) lemon slices
- 4 (for garnish) mint sprigs
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan, add the water and sliced ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, and let the ginger simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse its flavor.
3. Turn off the heat and add the black tea bags to the saucepan. Let the tea steep for 5 minutes.
4. Remove the tea bags and ginger slices. Stir in the torn mint leaves, lemon juice, lemon zest, and honey. Mix well to ensure the honey dissolves completely.
5. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then strain it to remove the mint leaves and any lemon zest.
6. Fill a large pitcher with the ice cubes, and pour the cooled tea over the ice.
7. To serve, pour the tea into glasses filled with more ice if desired. Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint.
8. Enjoy your refreshing Iced Lemon Ginger Mint Tea!
