A delightful and refreshing iced tea recipe perfect for hot summer days.
Pour the boiling water into a large heatproof pitcher.
Ensure the pitcher is heatproof to avoid cracking.
Add the tea bags and mint leaves to the pitcher and let steep for 5 minutes.
Cover the pitcher to retain the heat during steeping.
Remove the tea bags and mint leaves from the pitcher.
Use a strainer to ensure no leaves remain in the tea.
Stir in the honey and lemon juice until fully dissolved.
Adjust the sweetness and tanginess to your liking.
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
Cooling the tea prevents it from melting the ice too quickly.
Serve the chilled tea over ice cubes and garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
For a fancy touch, add a slice of lemon to each glass.
