Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan; remove from heat and steep 3 green tea bags for 5 minutes until the tea is fragrant and lightly colored.
  2. Step 2: Remove the tea bags and stir in 2 tablespoons of honey while the tea is still warm until fully dissolved.
  3. Step 3: Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of fresh orange juice for a bright citrus flavor.
  4. Step 4: Fill a large pitcher with 2 cups of ice cubes, add the tea mixture, and toss in 10 fresh mint leaves, gently bruised to release aroma.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and let the flavors meld before serving over additional ice if desired.
