Mint 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 herb-filled beverage garden and brew a large pitcher of this delicious and refreshing recipe!  You’ll love this recipe too … it’s a favorite among all my friends and often gets requested for summer gatherings {I’ve even been known to deliver a pitcher to a friend when days get rough}.

This mint lemonade iced tea is perfect for sipping with a favorite friend, serving at a party or bridal or baby shower, or just enjoying in the middle of a hot summer afternoon or evening.  

It’s so refreshing and the combination of the bold mint with the tart lemonade and smooth tea is perfection.  I love herb and fruit flavors infused into iced tea and if you do too, this recipe will be a hit.

I could drink a whole pitcher myself!

To make this flavorful lemonade, you’ll need regular tea bags, fresh mint leaves {from the garden or storebought}, granulated sugar, and frozen lemonade concentrate.
