Cranberry & Mint Iced Tea
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 6 cups of cranberry juice cocktail. Be sure to use the "cocktail" cranberry juice. Regular cranberry juice will make the tea too tart.
- 4 regular sized tea bags of black tea
- 10 mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Put tea bags and mint leaves in a large glass measuring cup or a heatproof pitcher. I have a 4 cup measuring cup, but a 2 cup will work too.
- Heat the cranberry juice cocktail, in a 2 quart saucepan, until it boils. Turn the heat off and pour the juice over the tea bags and mint leaves.
- Let the tea steep (just let it sit there) for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Strain the tea, taking out the tea bags and mint leaves, and stir in the sugar.
- Serve tea over ice.
Notes
You can also make this tea a little extra minty by adding a small sprig of fresh mint to the top of the glass.
