Tea-Infused Mint Lemonade
Ingredients:
- 4 cups water
- 4 tea bags of your choice (black or green tea works well)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- Juice of 4 large lemons
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves, more for garnish
- Ice cubes

Instructions:
-
Brew the Tea:
- Boil the water and pour it over the tea bags in a large pitcher. Let the tea steep for about 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags.

Make the Mint Infusion:
- While the tea is still hot, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the mint to infuse the tea.

Add Lemon Juice:

-
Chill:
- Refrigerate the tea mixture until it's completely chilled.

Serve:
