Introduction

A refreshing light drink for a hot summer day!!! I used an iced tea maker, but this is also easy to make on the stove. A refreshing light drink for a hot summer day!!! I used an iced tea maker, but this is also easy to make on the stove.

Ingredients

    tea, Splenda, mint leaves

Directions

Wash, pat dry, and coarsely chop or tear 12 fresh mint leaves. Prepare to brew 3 quarts (96 fl oz) of tea. I used an iced tea maker with 10 tea bags in the brew basket. Add the leaves to the brew basket. In the pitcher, add 1/2 cup of Splenda. Press "brew" and that's it!

To make on the stove, add 3 quarts of water to a large pot, along with 10 tea bags. Place the chopped/torn mint leaves in a tea ball or muslin bag. If you do not have one of these, be sure to strain the tea as you pour it into your pitcher. Add 1/2 cup of Splenda to the pitcher while you bring the water, tea, and mint to a boil. Once the tea comes to a rolling boil, remove from heat and pour into pitcher.

Makes 12 8-oz servings.
