I didn’t realize that mint tea was a southern thing until I moved to the north. I recently had someone comment, “That tea was good, but what were those leaves in it?” Try this tea for a brunch or tea party.
Bring the water to a boil. Add tea bags and let steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags. Add sugar and mint. When cool, add lemon and orange juice. When ready to serve, add ginger ale. Serve over crushed ice.
Note: I like to freeze “ice cubes” of this tea to add to the pitcher just before serving, so I don’t dilute the tea.

This tea is so refreshing. What a great combination of flavors, it was a hit at my office party today. I had fun making it, too. I’ll admit I was a little nervous about the amount of sugar, so I added just 2 cups. Came out delicious.

What form of lemon juice do you use? Freshly squeezed, or bottled? Could I cut back on the sugar and just use lemonade?

What a wonderful kick – adding ginger ale. I’m glad I came across this recipe – yum yum!
