Instructions

Add the water to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, add the mint leaves. This releases their aromatic oils into the water.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the mint leaves steep for 5 minutes. This gentle simmering extracts the flavor from the mint without making it bitter.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the green tea. Allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes. Steeping off the heat prevents the delicate green tea from becoming bitter.
Strain the tea into your favorite mug. This removes the mint leaves and tea leaves, leaving you with a clear, flavorful beverage.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

Drink green tea with mint 2 hours before or after a meal and 2 hours before bedtime. Caffeine and L-theanine can keep you alert, and the tea's diuretic properties may disturb sleep.
For weight loss, consider drinking green tea with mint before exercise, but limit consumption to 2–3 cups a day.
Avoid this cooling drink during winter.

Expert Tips

Experiment with different mint varieties, such as peppermint, spearmint, or chocolate mint, to discover unique flavor profiles.
For a layered iced tea, freeze some of the brewed and cooled tea into ice cubes. This prevents dilution as the ice melts.
