Mint and Lemon Iced Tea

It's hot, it's humid, it's time for steaks, BBQs and cold drinks. This particular Iced Tea is one of my favorites, the mint adds a really refreshing taste and the lemon adds a light, citrusy flavor. 

What You'll Need :

- One Large Teabag (I used this one from Cracker Barrel)

- 50 oz of boiling water 

- 1/2 lemon, sliced

- Large handful of mint 

- 1.5 tbs honey (optional)

What To Do: 

- Wash the fresh mint thoroughly (especially if you grow your own, which I recommend).

- Slice lemon and remove the seeds. 

- Pour boiling water over Mint, lemon and the tea bag. 

- Cover with a towel and allow to infuse for 5-10 min, depending on how strong you want your tea to be. 

- Remove mint, lemon and tea bag and discard. Stir in honey if you want some added sweetness! 

- Quick Tip: Run your tea through a fine strainer if any lemon pulp or seeds escaped during the process. 

- Allow to cool down at room temperature before placing in the fridge. Let cool and serve over ice!
