HOW TO MAKE HONEY MINT ICED GREEN TEA
Making this Simple Honey Mint Green Iced Tea is super easy! If you’ve ever made iced black tea, the process is really similar.
Simply heat some water and right when it comes to a boil, turn off the heat and let the fresh mint and tea bags steep for a few minutes. I like a really strong tea flavor, so I tend to let my tea bags steep for about an hour before removing the tea bags.
Then I add about 1-1 and ½ cups of water and sweeten it with a little honey. Top with ice, stir, and voila! Easy, right?!
