  • Use a good quality mint: Fresh mint leaves are best, but dried mint leaves can also be used. If using dried mint, use about 1/2 the amount of fresh mint.
  • Sweeten to taste: The amount of sweetener you need will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Let the tea steep for at least 4 hours: The longer the tea steeps, the more flavor it will have. You can steep the tea for up to overnight.
  • Serve the tea chilled: Blueberry mint iced tea is best served chilled. You can chill the tea in the refrigerator or over ice.
