Brewing the Tea

Steep 4 green tea bags in 4 cups of hot water for 10 minutes. Remove tea bags.

Add 1 inch of orange peel (optional) and 15 fresh mint leaves to the warm tea. Let it steep for another 5 minutes.

Cooling and Sweetening

Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the orange peel and mint leaves. Allow the tea to cool completely. Once cool, stir in 2 tablespoons of honey (or to taste).

Serving

Chill the tea thoroughly. Serve over ice in glasses. Garnish with orange slices and/or fresh mint sprigs, if desired.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Orange Mint Green Iced Tea

For a stronger tea flavor, use higher-quality green tea bags and increase the steeping time.
Adjust the amount of honey to your preference. You can also use other sweeteners like agave nectar or simple syrup.
If you don't have fresh mint, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried mint. However, fresh mint will provide a more vibrant flavor.
For a smoother texture, consider using a fine-mesh strainer when removing the tea bags and infusing ingredients.
