Homemade iced tea where brewed black tea is refreshed with lemon and mint. This practical drink cools you down in summer heat and is a natural, sugar-controlled alternative to ready-made iced teas.
Drop the tea bags into boiling water and steep for 4 minutes. Remove the bags on time, since over-steeping causes bitterness. Add the sugar to the hot tea and stir to dissolve.
Dilute the brewed tea with cold water, and once it reaches room temperature, chill it thoroughly in the refrigerator.
Add the lemon juice and lightly crushed mint leaves. Add ice to the glasses, pour the iced tea over it and serve.
Important: Over-steeping the tea makes it bitter — watch the steeping time and remove the bags promptly. Adding ice to iced tea before it's fully cooled will dilute the drink. Stays fresh for two days in a covered pitcher in the fridge.
Adding a spoon of honey or a few slices of fresh fruit instead of sugar gives a more natural sweetness. Lightly crushing the mint before adding it releases its aroma.
