You’ll Need:
- 1 bag green tea
- 8 ounces of water
- ½ small lime, juiced
- 2-3 mint leaves
- Ice, to chill
Instructions:
- Prepare green tea according to package directions. (We heated water, just until it bubbled, not a rolling boil., Then we poured it over the green tea bag, let steep for 5 minutes and then removed the tea bag. For stronger tea you can steep longer).
- While tea is steeping, juice ½ of a small lime in a small dish.
- Add the mint leaves into the lime juice and muddle (press the leaves into the dish to release their healthful oils) slightly to release their oils.
- Once tea has cooled slightly, pour tea over ice, add in lime/mint juice. You can include the leaves or leave them out, either way you will get their minty effect.
