Cold Mint Tea

Summer is here and I think of the days we picked meadow tea from the abundant patch in our backyard.

Grandma also had it growing along the stone wall by her house.

Now, I'm jealous of those patches and wish I could grow one at my house.

I bought a Peppermint tea plant at the greenhouse last year and it didn't amount to much.

So, I thought I'd try again this year, but in the mean time I want some refreshing Mint tea to drink!

So, I've made up my own!

Cold Mint Tea:

3 mint tea bags

1/2 sugar or more, adjust to your tastebuds!

Water

What I do is make a full pot of hot water in my Bunn coffee maker.

Then add the tea bags and sugar and stir. Let it steep for a few minutes

Remove the tea bags, and after it cools a bit I pour the concentrate into my Gallon (4 Litre) pitcher.

Then fill the pitcher up with water.

Stir and add ice or refrigerate till cool.
