Freshly Brewed Ice Tea with Fresh Mint

Recipe Description

Is there anything more refreshing than ice tea on a warm day? My Freshly Brewed Ice Tea With Fresh Mint is a fantastic ice tea recipe which is super simple and tastes amazing. I think that’s down to the addition of mint which brings a fresh and intense flavor to any recipe.

This recipe involves steeping tea bags in boiling water. My top tip when making ice tea is to not move the tea bags as they steep and when removing the tea bags from the water, do not squeeze them or the tea will taste bitter. If you like sweetened ice tea, add sweetener once you have removed the tea bags. Serve the tea over ice with slices of lemon.

To make Freshly Brewed Ice Tea With Fresh Mint, you will need the following ingredients:
