Another review by Domestic Goddess: Nif, I made your iced tea for a 2nd time, but using spearmint leaves from our garden. While our leaves were rather small in size, I ended up adding more to the tea. I even left the mint leaves in the pitcher over night, then removed them in the morning. I found using spearmint leaves, gives the tea just a slight hint of mint flavor, which still is quite refreshing and oh so good!! My review on July 17, 2011... I've never had iced tea that was brewed with fresh mint. I was impressed with the end results. This tea was quite refreshing! I however, steeped my tea for 15 minutes; plus I only added a 1/4 cup (plus) 1 tablespoon of the sugar, which I thought sweetened the tea perfectly. I look forward to making this tea again, and sharing it with my daughters and son-in-laws, as I don't think they've ever had mint flavored iced tea before. It'll be interesting to see what they think of it. I'm hoping they'll like it as much as I do, as this recipe is definitely a keeper. Nif, thanx for posting this recipe!!

We love mint tea so this one was going to be a winner! I used my iced tea maker and layered the mint leaves on top of 6 regular sized tea bags. I would use a little less sugar next time but I like a tarter flavor. Nif this was a great iced tea recipe, thank you for sharing. Made and reviewed for Kittencal's Mini Cook-a-thon.

Mmmmmmmm, this is lovely. I used fresh lemon juice and Splenda in place of the concentrate to control the sugar. I didn't have fresh mint so steeped the tea with fried mint which I filtered out to avoid the wee green flecks all over the place. The end result was mighty tasty and easy to do.

So yummy and refreshing on a hot July summer day! I didn't have quite enough lemonade concentrate, so used 1 cup less water. My DH and I both enjoyed it! Thanks! Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
