Texas Tea
- Reviews 8
Ready In: 32 mins
Yields: 3 quarts
Ingredients
- 3 quarts water
- 1 family size tea bag
- 15 -20 lemon drop candies
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves, crushed slightly
- sugar, to taste
Directions
- Bring water to a boil in a large pot.
- Add tea bag, lemon drops, and mint leaves.
- Turn off the heat and let steep as long as you prefer (I usually only let it steep about 15 minutes).
- When tea has reached desired strength, remove tea bag and mint leaves.
- At this point, you may stir in some sugar, if desired- as much or as little as you prefer.
- Chill and serve over ice.
- Note:If you prefer, you may leave tea unsweetened initially and add sweetener by the glass as it is served.
- However, adding sweetener when the tea has freshly brewed will dissolve the sugar better.
