A summer favourite, when your garden is overgrown with mint. Easy to make, and delicious! Cook time is cooling time. Original recipe from Homemakers Magazine had 1/4 cup lime juice, but after Acadia's review, I adjusted it, as I agree that is too much and is overwhelming. I think that lemon juice compliments the taste more, as well.

SERVES 6 , 6 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

6 cups water, boiling
1 1/2 cups mint leaves, fresh, loosely packed
2-3 tablespoons green tea leaves (4-6 tea bags)
1 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice (more, to taste)
honey, to taste

Directions

1
Pour boiling water over mint leaves and green tea leaves; let cool. Strain and stir in lime juice, and honey to taste.
2
Serve in a tall glass with ice cubes and a sprig of fresh mint.

This is an updated review after the posting Chef made corrections to the recipe: I made this again last night and I think it was 100% better than the original. This time the lemon juice enhanced the minty flavor instead of overpowering it. Made for New Kids on the Block tag.
