Iced Moroccan Mint

teas.co.uk · 10 min + chill · Serves 4

You'll need

• 4 Good Earth Moroccan Mint Green Tea bags
• 500ml water cooled to about 80C
• 500ml cold water
• 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar or honey
• A few fresh mint sprigs and 1 lemon, sliced, to serve
• Plenty of ice

Method

1. Boil fresh water and cool to about 80C, then pour over the 4 bags in a covered jug and steep just 3 minutes; longer or hotter and the green base turns bitter once iced.
2. Lift the bags out without squeezing and stir in the sugar or honey while warm so it dissolves; cold drinks need a little extra sweetening because cold mutes sugar.
3. Cool to room temperature then chill gently; do not crash it over ice, this is a delicate green base.
4. Stir in the 500ml cold water.
5. Fill tall glasses with ice and divide the iced mint between them, then top with a fresh mint sprig and a slice of lemon.
6. Best within 2 days as green tea fades fast even cold.
