1
Boil the Water
In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
2
Add Mint Leaves
Once the water is boiling, remove the pot from heat and add 1 cup of fresh mint leaves.
3
Steep the Tea
Cover the pot and let the mint leaves steep in the hot water for about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how strong you want the flavor to be.
4
Sweeten the Tea
After steeping, strain the tea into cups or a teapot. Add honey or sugar to taste, stirring until dissolved.
5
Serve
If desired, add a slice of lemon to each cup for added flavor. Serve hot or let it cool and serve over ice.
