Ingredients

• 4 tangerines, juiced
• 4 cups of water
• 4 mint tea bags
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
• 6-8 fresh mint leaves
• Ice cubes
• Tangerine slices and mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

1. Begin by boiling the water in a kettle or saucepan until it reaches a rolling boil.
2. Once boiled, place the mint tea bags in a heatproof pitcher and pour the hot water over them. Let them steep for about 5 minutes, allowing the minty flavors to infuse fully.
3. While the tea is steeping, juice the tangerines using a citrus juicer. You should have about one cup of freshly squeezed tangerine juice.
4. Remove the tea bags from the pitcher and add the tangerine juice. Stir well to combine. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add the honey and mix until fully dissolved.
5. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before refrigerating it for an additional 30 minutes to chill.
6. When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled Tangerine Mint Tea over them.
7. Garnish each glass with a slice of tangerine and a sprig of fresh mint. Enjoy!

Helpful Tips and Variations

• For a more vibrant flavor, add a few extra mint leaves when steeping the tea bags.
• You can replace honey with agave nectar or a sugar substitute for a different sweetness level.
• Serve the Tangerine Mint Tea in a chilled glass for an extra refreshing touch, especially during summer months.
• This drink can easily be turned into a party punch by increasing the quantities and serving in a large punch bowl.

Storage and Substitutions

• Store any leftover tea in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• If tangerines are not available, oranges or clementines make excellent substitutes.
• For a different twist, replace mint tea with green tea or lemon balm tea.
