My wife asked for advice on how to make mint iced tea. She had mint tea bags, but she wanted to use some fresh leaves from her healthy mint plant.
We brewed the tea bags with hot water. Instead of making a broth out of the fresh leaves, I convinced her to muddle the fresh mint leaves with ice, then pour in the (now cooled) brewed tea, kind of like making a mint julep. I was hoping to preserve more of the menthol and other minty essential oils.
My wife claims it tasted swell.
