Citrus Mint Infused Green Tea
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.
