Equipment

• 1 Strainer or tea infuser
• 1 Teapot or saucepan
• 1 Wooden spoon or muddler
• 1 Citrus juicer (optional)
• 1 Pitcher (for serving iced tea)
• 1 Cups or mugs

Ingredients

  

• 4 cups water
• 2 tablespoons green tea leaves (or 4 green tea bags)
• 1 medium lemon sliced
• 1 medium orange sliced
• 1/4 cup mint leaves fresh
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• optional Ice for iced tea

Instructions

 

• Boil the water:

  Bring 4 cups of water to a near boil (around 175°F or 80°C) in a teapot or saucepan. Green tea is best brewed with slightly cooler water than black tea to avoid bitterness.
  
• Prepare the mint and citrus:

  While the water is heating, gently muddle the mint leaves in a teapot or pitcher to release their flavor. Add the lemon and orange slices.
  
• Steep the tea:

  Once the water has reached the right temperature, pour it over the tea leaves (or bags) in the pot with the citrus and mint. Let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your preferred tea strength.
  
• Strain the tea:

  If using loose leaves, strain the tea into a pitcher or directly into cups. Remove the tea bags if using them.
  
• Sweeten (optional):

  Stir in honey if you prefer a touch of sweetness.
  
• Serve:

  Enjoy the tea warm or serve it over ice for a refreshing iced tea. Garnish with extra mint and citrus slices if desired.

Notes

• For a stronger mint flavor, add the mint leaves at the beginning while heating the water.
• Experiment with different citrus fruits like lime or grapefruit for a unique twist.
• If you want an extra kick of flavor, add a slice of fresh ginger while steeping the tea.
• Be careful not to over-steep the green tea, as it can become bitter.
