- 100 ml orange juice
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 10 pieces fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions
Boil 500 ml of water in a small pot or kettle.

Stir in honey while the tea is still warm to ensure it dissolves completely. Let the tea cool to room temperature, or refrigerate for faster cooling.
In a large pitcher, combine the cooled tea with the orange juice and lemon juice, stirring to mix well.
Add the fresh mint leaves, gently crushing them with a spoon to release their flavor.
Fill two serving glasses halfway with ice cubes, then pour the tea mixture into the glasses.
Garnish each glass with orange slices, lemon slices, and a sprig of fresh mint.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Tea Crush!
