Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 2 pieces Tea bags (black, green, or herbal)
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon Orange peel (organic, finely sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (optional)
- 1 cup Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
Heat the 4 cups of water in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat until it begins to simmer.
Add the tea bags, fresh mint leaves, orange peel, and ginger slices to the simmering water. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
Lower the heat and let the mixture steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on the strength of tea desired.
Remove from heat and carefully remove the tea bags, squeezing them gently to extract any remaining liquid.
Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice (if using) for a subtle boost of flavor.
Strain the tea through a fine-mesh strainer into a teapot or pitcher to remove the mint leaves, orange peel, and ginger slices.
Serve hot, or allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then pour over ice cubes for a refreshing cold version.
Garnish with additional mint leaves or a slice of lemon if desired. Enjoy your sugar-free flavored tea!
