Tips:

Fresh mint leaves: For the best flavor, use fresh mint leaves. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but it will not be as flavorful.
Loose-leaf tea: If you have loose-leaf tea, you can use it to make iced tea. Just follow the package directions for brewing loose-leaf tea.
Steeping time: The longer you steep the tea, the stronger the flavor will be. For a light flavor, steep the tea for 3-4 minutes. For a stronger flavor, steep the tea for 5-7 minutes.
Cooling the tea: To cool the tea quickly, place it in the refrigerator or freezer for 30 minutes. You can also pour the tea over ice cubes.
Serving the tea: Serve the tea over ice in a glass or mason jar. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a slice of orange.
