1
Wash the Mint
Rinse the fresh mint leaves under cool running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
2
Boil Water
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.

3
Add Mint Leaves
Once the water is boiling, remove the pot from heat and add 1 cup of fresh mint leaves. Stir gently.
4
Steep the Tea
Cover the pot and let the mint leaves steep in the hot water for about 10 minutes to release their flavor.

5
Strain the Tea
After steeping, strain the tea through a fine mesh sieve or tea strainer into a teapot or individual cups.
6
Add Sweetener and Additional Flavors
If desired, stir in honey, sugar, or lemon juice to taste.
7
Serve Hot or Cold
Serve the mint tea hot, or let it cool and serve over ice for a refreshing cold drink.
