INGREDIENTS

  • Liquid

    • 💧 2 quarts water

  • Sweetener

    • 🍯 ¼ cup wildflower honey

  • Citrus

    • 🍋 1 large lemon

  • Herb

    • 🌿 2 bunches fresh mint leaves

STEPS

1

Pour water into a large glass container with a lid. Stir in honey until dissolved. Zest the lemon, being careful not to include any white pith. Juice the lemon, then add both zest and juice to the glass container.

2

Working with one bunch at a time, hold mint in one hand; use your other hand to twist and squeeze the leaves, slightly bruising them to release their fragrance and oils. Immerse the squeezed bunches in the water mixture.

3

Cover the container and place it in direct sunlight for 2 hours.

4

Remove and discard mint leaves. Shake the tea, then pour over ice in tall glasses. Garnish with mint sprigs.
