Lemon-mint iced tea is a refreshing drink with a delicate balance of citrus tartness and soft herbal aroma. This tea originated in Europe as a summer refresher, combining traditional English tea habits with a love for Mediterranean freshness. The flavor blends the bitterness of black tea, the sweetness of sugar, and the refreshing lightness of mint, complemented by bright notes of lemonade. Perfect for hot days, especially with plenty of ice, creating a revitalizing coolness. Served in tall glasses and pairs wonderfully with light snacks or desserts. The versatility of the recipe allows for adjusting sweetness and flavor intensity to create your ideal summer tea.
