Ingredients
This recipe serves 2 cups.
Ingredient Quantity
Water 2 cups
Fresh mint leaves 10–12 leaves
Fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon
Honey (optional) 1 teaspoon
Lemon slices For garnish
Fresh mint sprigs For garnish,
Ingredient Notes: Fresh Mint Leaves
Fresh mint is the star of this recipe. The leaves provide a cooling and refreshing flavor that makes the tea feel incredibly uplifting.
If possible, use freshly picked mint leaves because they offer the strongest aroma and flavor.
Lemon Juice
Fresh lemon juice is always the best choice. Bottled lemon juice can work in a pinch, but fresh lemons provide a brighter and more natural citrus flavor.
Honey
Honey is completely optional. I often skip it when I want a lighter drink, but sometimes I add a small amount when I’m craving a hint of sweetness.
Water
Since tea is mostly water, using clean filtered water can noticeably improve the final taste.
