Mint Green Tea

Refreshing, aromatic, and packed with antioxidants, Mint Green Tea is a soothing drink you can enjoy hot or cold. The fresh mint complements the grassy notes of green tea, making it both invigorating and relaxing.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups water

• 1–2 green tea bags (or 1 tablespoon loose green tea)

• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

• 1–2 teaspoons honey or sweetener (optional)

• Lemon slices (optional)

Instructions:

1. Boil the Water
   Bring the water to a boil, then let it cool slightly (ideal temp: around 80°C / 175°F) to avoid burning the green tea.

2. Steep the Tea
   Add the green tea and mint leaves to the hot water. Let steep for 2–3 minutes for a mild brew, or up to 5 minutes for a stronger flavor.

3. Sweeten (Optional)
   Remove the tea bags or strain the leaves, then stir in honey or sweetener if desired.

4. Serve
   Enjoy hot, or pour over ice for a chilled version. Garnish with a lemon slice or a sprig of fresh mint.

Tips:

• For iced mint green tea, chill the tea in the fridge for 1–2 hours and serve over ice with extra mint.

• Add a splash of lemon juice for brightness and extra vitamin C.

Health Note:

Green tea is rich in antioxidants like catechins, while mint aids digestion and adds natural freshness.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve with light snacks or enjoy after meals as a calming, cleansing drink.
