Lemon mint iced tea

15 min • 4 to 6 servings •
Andrew Sachs
Glass and pitcher of iced tea with mint garnish beside lemon and spoon on counter, with teapot in the background.

This is an ideal drink for a warm summer afternoon. If possible try and consume from a plastic glass while casually floating in a gently heated swimming pool.

Ready

  • 2 tea bags ( I prefer PG Tips)
  • juice of ½ large lemon
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • Sprig of mint (8-12 leaves)
  • lots of ice

    • Set

  • Teapot
  • Large pitcher (tempered glass or heat resistant)
  • Large Spoon
  • Swimming pool (optional)

    • Go!

  • Bring approximately 1 liter of water to boil.
  • Add tea bags and mint to empty pitcher. Add the boiling water and let seep for three (3) minutes and then remove tea bags.
  • Add sugar and lemon.
  • Taste and adjust.
  • Once all the sugar is dissolved fill remainder of pitcher with ice.
  • Serve and enjoy.

    • Recommendations

    I like PG Tips which is a British brand that is now easy to find in the US. In my opinion it is well suited to iced tea. Feel free to improvise and use your favorite brand of tea.
