ICED GREEN TEA WITH GINGER AND MINT
Steps:
- In a large saucepan over high heat, combine the ginger and 6 cups of water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add the mint and tea bags. Cover and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain the liquid into a large pitcher or other container. Add the honey and lemon juice; stir. Chill. Serve in tall glasses over ice cubes and more mint leaves. Tip: to frost glasses, dip the rims in water, then coarse sugar crystals.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality green tea leaves or tea bags. Fresh, loose-leaf tea will provide the best flavor, but tea bags are a convenient option.
- Use filtered or spring water to brew the tea. Tap water can contain impurities that can affect the taste of the tea.
- Steep the tea for the recommended amount of time. Over-steeping can make the tea bitter.
- Allow the tea to cool slightly before adding the ginger and mint.
- Use fresh ginger and mint leaves for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger, but it will be less flavorful.
- Sweeten the tea to taste with honey, sugar, or another sweetener.
- Serve the tea over ice with a slice of lemon or lime.
