Mint Iced Tea

There's something about making iced tea from scratch. This recipe is simple - just tea, fresh mint, and a touch of sugar.  The result is  iced tea that tastes like summer in a glass.


Ingredients:

5 sprigs of fresh mint, about 3 inches long

6 regular sized tea bags

4 cups of boiling water

4-6 cups of cold water

1/4 or 1/2 cup sugar

Directions:

Wash mint and place mint and teabags in a large glass bowl.  

Pour boiling water over teabags and mint and allow to steep for 5 minutes. 

Add sugar to tea mixture, if using.

Add cool water to a pitcher, using a wooden spoon remove mint and teabags and discard. 

Pour warm tea into pitcher, cool and serve over ice.
