Iced Green Mint Tea

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
• Enough cubed ice (about 250g)

Method

1. Let the boiled kettle fall to about 80C for the iced green mint; a thermometer or a variable kettle tells you.
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 green mint brew fully, in cold water or the fridge.
4. Ice a tall glass, then pour the cold green mint over.
5. Pour in the cold water slowly over a spoon's back, lengthening the green mint.
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.
