Servings: 8
Ingredients
- Fresh mint leaves
- 1 small bunch
- Lemon
- 1, thinly sliced
- Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup
- Cold water
- 8 cups
- Black tea bags
- 8
Instructions
- In a large glass jar or clear pitcher, pour 8 cups of cold water.
- Submerge 8 black tea bags in the water, making sure they are fully immersed.
- Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar to the water, stirring gently until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Immerse the thinly sliced lemon and fresh mint leaves into the mixture.
- Cover the jar or pitcher securely with a lid or clear plastic wrap to keep out any insects.
- Place the container in a sunny, warm spot outdoors and let the tea steep for 4 to 6 hours. The heat from the sun will gently brew the tea, the longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.
- After brewing, carefully remove the tea bags, and strain the mixture to remove the lemon slices and mint leaves.
- Chill the tea in the refrigerator or serve immediately over ice for a refreshing, sun-kissed beverage.
