Serves 4

Ingredients

Black tea bags
2
Boiling water
4 cups
Fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup
Fresh mint leaves
1 handful, extra for garnish
Honey
1/4 cup or to taste
Ice cubes
as needed

Instructions

  1. Place the black tea bags in a large, heatproof pitcher.
  2. Carefully pour the boiling water over the tea bags, ensuring they are fully submerged. Allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes to extract a rich, intense flavor.
  3. After steeping, remove and discard the tea bags.
  4. Into the pitcher, add the fresh lemon juice, a generous handful of mint leaves, and honey. The honey can be adjusted to taste, depending on your preference for sweetness.
  5. Stir the mixture well until the honey is completely dissolved and the flavors are well blended.
  6. Add ice cubes to the pitcher, stirring once more to ensure the brew is well chilled.
  7. Serve the Black Sea Brew in tall glasses, garnished with extra mint leaves for added aesthetic and flavor. Enjoy the refreshing, invigorating taste of the Black Sea in the comfort of your home.

Tips

  • 💡 For a fun twist, try using flavored tea bags like peach or raspberry black tea.
  • 💡 A slice of fresh lemon can also be used for garnish, adding an extra burst of freshness.
  • 💡 If you prefer a stronger mint flavor, muddle the mint leaves before adding them to the pitcher.
