Mint Garden Tea Concentrate

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 4 cups boiling water
  • 4-6 teaspoons honey or sweetener of your choice (adjust to taste)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Ice cubes (for serving)
  • Lemon slices (for garnish)
  • Fresh mint sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Begin by rinsing the fresh mint leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities.
  2. In a heatproof pitcher, place the mint leaves. Carefully pour the boiling water over the mint to fully immerse the leaves.
  3. Cover the pitcher and allow the mint steep for about 10-15 minutes. The longer you let it steep, the more intense the mint flavor will be.
  4. After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the mint leaves. This will leave you with a smooth tea concentrate.
  5. Stir in the honey or sweetener while the mixture is still warm. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
  6. Once the tea is sweetened to your liking, add the fresh lemon juice and stir well.
  7. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
  8. To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes, pour the chilled mint tea concentrate over the ice, and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint sprigs.
