Mint Tea Recipe

There’s absolutely nothing more refreshing on a hot summer’s day than a glass of iced mint tea.  Luckily, mint prospers all throughout the summer, and as any herb gardener knows, it often takes over the garden as it grows.  While mint can add a refreshing quality to anything in which it’s added, my favorite way to utilize it when I have it growing in my summer’s garden and available in quantity is in tea.  The following recipe is more than easy, so don’t worry about breaking a sweat on these hot, steamy days.

If mint isn’t growing nearby and the quantity called for in this recipe isn’t available, consider halving the recipe.  It may seem like quite a bit of mint, but try not to skimp on the tea’s star ingredient.  Poured over ice, the powerful minty flavor is needed.
