Time 59m

Yield 5 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups water
4 green tea bags
1 1/2 cups (100 percent) apple juice (recommended: Martinelli's)
1 cup Mint Simple Syrup, recipe follows
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)
1 cup sparkling water, chilled
Ice
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 packed cup fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Garnish: fresh mint sprigs, optional
  • In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn off the heat, add the tea bags and let steep for 6 minutes. Remove the tea bags and cool the tea to room temperature, about 45 minutes. Pour the cooled tea into a large pitcher. Add the apple juice, Mint Simple Syrup and lemon juice. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • To serve, add the sparkling water and pour the punch into ice-filled glasses. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs, if desired.
  • Add the water and sugar to a small saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the mint leaves. Allow the syrup to cool, about 20 minutes. Strain before using.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The punch was too sweet and the mint overpowered the other flavors.
