Mint & Ginger Iced Green Tea

Mint & Ginger Iced Green Tea

Adapted from TheKitchn

Ingredients

Serves 8

6 cups of water

2-inch piece of ginger, peeled and sliced

4 bags green tea

½ cup mint leaves, plus extra to serve

½ cup sugar or ⅓ cup honey (I used coconut sugar)

1 lemon, divided

Pinch of baking soda

Directions

Combine water and ginger in a pot. Bring to a boil. Once the water boils, remove from the heat and add tea bags and mint leaves. Cover with a lid and steep for 15 minutes.

Remove the bags and strain tea separating the liquid from the mint leaves and ginger slices.

Stir in sugar, juice of half lemon, and baking soda.

Transfer to a pitcher and let cool before refrigerating.

When ready to serve, slice remaining half lemon into slices, add a couple of slices in each glass, along with a couple of mint leaves and ice cubes. Pour iced tea over and serve!
