teas.co.uk · 15 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 2 tea bags of Lipton Green Mint Tea
• 200ml freshly drawn water cooled to 80C
• 200ml cold still water
• 5 fresh mint leaves
• 1 tall 450ml glass, chilled in the freezer for ten minutes
• Enough cubed ice (about 250g)
• 1 small jug for steeping, 1 saucer for covering

Method

1. Boil the kettle and let it stand a minute or two to drop to around 80C.
2. Steep the 2 tea bags in 200ml of the cooled water for four minutes under a saucer, then lift them out.
3. Cool the brew right down in cold water or the fridge.
4. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the cooled tea over.
5. Lengthen with the cold water, easing it down the back of a spoon.
6. Clap the mint leaves between your palms to release the oils and drop them in.
7. Tip: muddle a couple of the mint leaves in the bottom of the glass first for a stronger mint hit.
