PEPPERMINT ICED TEA



Peppermint Iced Tea image

I'm loving this easy-to-make and deliciously refreshing Peppermint Iced Tea. It is the perfect summer refreshment everyone loves.

Provided by Chantal Kirkland

Categories     Drink

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup Hot Water
½ to 1 Tbsp dried Peppermint Leaves
1 tsp Sugar or Honey (I used Honey)
1 cup Ice

Steps:

  • Steep mint leaves for 5 minutes. Keep in mind, a longer steeping time of dried mint leaves may give a bitter aftertaste. If you don't have dried peppermint leaves, fresh peppermint leaves can be used. To do this, just use a handful of fresh mint leaves in place of the dried. However, fresh leaves have a sharper flavor. Most of the time, I use dried leaves. If you are using fresh mint leaves, steep for 10 minutes. Drain the leaves before the color gets too dark. Fresh mint leaves will give a brighter tea, unlike dried mint leaves.
  • Add honey and stir.
  • Pour the tea into 2 tall glasses filled with ice.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Peppermint: Fresh peppermint leaves provide the best flavor for this tea. If you don't have fresh peppermint, you can use dried peppermint, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Steep the Tea for the Right Amount of Time: The longer you steep the tea, the stronger the flavor will be. For a light and refreshing tea, steep for 5-7 minutes. For a more intense flavor, steep for 10-12 minutes.
  • Use High-Quality Tea: The quality of the tea leaves you use will also affect the flavor of your iced tea. Choose a high-quality tea that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Sweeten to Taste: This recipe calls for honey, but you can use any sweetener you like. Add more or less sweetener to taste.
  • Serve Over Ice: Iced tea is best served over ice. This will help to cool it down and make it refreshing.

Conclusion:

Peppermint iced tea is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for enjoying on a hot summer day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Experiment with different types of tea, sweeteners, and garnishes to find the perfect combination for you. Enjoy!
