servings10
minutes40
kcalIngredients
5 green tea bags
2 lemons (1 for the peel, 1 sliced) (can use limes instead)
5 tbsp honey
20-24 mint leaves
500 ml hot water
1500 ml cold water
ice (optional)
Directions
- Peel the zest of one lemon being careful to not include the white rind, as this is the bitter bit. Add the lemon zest to a pitcher with the green tea bags, honey and around 10 mint leaves.
- Boil around 500ml water and pour it over the pitcher with all of the ingredients, let it all steep for approximately 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags, the lemon peel and the mint leaves. Allow the tea to cool completely.
- In a pitcher place some ice, cold water, the sliced lemon* and 10-14 mint leaves. Once the tea has cooled, pour it in the pitcher and serve.
Notes
- For those who prefer:
– a stronger tea taste – you can either remove the honey or you can add more tea bags to this recipe. You can also steep the tea bags twice to get a somewhat stronger taste.
– a sweeter taste – you can add more honey to the above. - * To avoid wasting a perfectly good lemon, you can slice this up in the pitcher together with the other lemon or instead of it.
