1
Prepare the Mint
Wash the fresh mint leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt.
2
Boil the Water
In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
3
Brew the Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add the fresh mint leaves. Allow it to steep for about 5-10 minutes, depending on how strong you want the mint flavor.
4
Sweeten the Tea
After steeping, strain the tea into a teapot or serving pitcher. Add honey or sugar to taste, stirring until dissolved.
5
Serve
Pour the mint tea into cups. If desired, add a slice of lemon to each cup for extra flavor.
