Recipe: Honey Mint Iced Tea

Ingredients:

• 8 cups freshly brewed black iced tea (hot brew)
• ¼ cup honey
• 4 sprigs fresh mint + extra for garnish

Directions:

1. Rinse fresh mint and set aside.
2. Brew black tea according to package instructions.
3. Remove tea bags. While tea is hot, stir in honey until dissolved.
4. Add 4 fresh mint sprigs and steep for about 30 minutes.
5. Using a slotted spoon, remove mint.

Notes:

• Allow iced tea to cool at room temperature for about an hour before refrigerating.
• Store in a sealed glass pitcher in refrigerator. For best tasting tea, drink within 48 hours.
• I use Luzianne black iced tea to make this recipe. It’s so smooth and delicious every time!
