Directions
- Brew the Green Tea
Heat the water to 75–80°C (167–176°F), do not boil. Add the green tea bags and steep for 2–3 minutes maximum. Remove the tea bags without squeezing and let the tea cool to lukewarm. - Sweeten Lightly
While the tea is still warm, stir in 2 tablespoons of honey until fully dissolved. Taste and add up to 1 additional tablespoon only if needed. Let the tea cool to room temperature. - Prepare the Mint
Rinse the mint leaves and gently clap them between your hands to release aroma. Do not chop or muddle — that extracts chlorophyll and bitterness. - Cold Mint Infusion
Add the prepared mint to the cooled tea. Refrigerate and let infuse for 10–15 minutes only, until a strong, clean mint aroma develops. Remove the mint promptly to avoid grassy flavors. - Chill
Continue chilling the tea for 1–2 hours until fully cold and crisp. - Serve
Fill glasses with ice, pour over the mint green iced tea, and garnish with a fresh mint sprig if desired.
*Notes :
- Mint should be aromatic and cooling, not vegetal — short infusion is non-negotiable.
- Green tea must stay light; oversteeping plus mint turns harsh fast.
- Use mild honey so the mint remains clean and refreshing.
- Best consumed within 24 hours for peak freshness.
