Minty lemonade iced tea is, hands down, my favorite summer drink. On those warm Texas days, I love to grab a pile of mint from my backyard garden and brew a pitcher of this recipe! You’ll love this recipe too … it’s a favorite among all my friends {I’ve even been known to deliver a pitcher to a friend when days get rough}.
This minty lemonade iced tea is perfect for sipping with a friend, serving at a party, or just enjoying in the middle of a hot summer afternoon. It’s so refreshing and the combination of the bold mint with the tart lemonade and smooth tea is perfection.
Minty Lemonade Iced Tea
3 cups water
5 tea bags
1 cup tightly packed fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup sugar
4 cups cold water
1 6-ounce can frozen lemonade, thawed
Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat, add tea bags, and stir in fresh mint. Cover and steep ten minutes.
Remove and discard tea bags and mint. Stir in sugar till dissolved.
Pour tea through a strainer into a 3-quart container. In another container, mix cold water and lemonade together then pour it through a strainer into the tea. Serve over ice.
Cheers! And if you run to the store to grab your own pot of fresh mint to grow, I’d love to hear about it {wink}!
