Homemade mint iced tea recipe step by step
To make your recipe homemade mint iced tea, opt for green tea or white tea. They are the most indicated. Their lightness blends harmoniously with the refreshing notes of mint.
A word of advice: choose the cold infusion method to enjoy the pleasures of tea without any bitterness. For green tea, allow an infusion time of between thirty minutes and three hours depending on your tastes. Allow between two to four hours in total for a white tea.
To prepare two liters of homemade mint iced tea, you need:
- Two liters of mineral water or filtered water
- 10 g of green tea or white tea, plain or flavored
- 2 nice bunches of fresh mint
- 100 g of white powdered sugar, to measure at your convenience

- Place the tea in a filter and let it steep in cold water for about three hours.
- Remove the tea and filter if necessary.
- Add the mint leaves and sugar, then mix.
- Place your mixture in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours. The more you increase the steeping time, the more the tea and mint flavors will develop.
- Take your carafe out of the refrigerator. Mix well so that the sugar does not stay at the bottom.
- Your homemade mint iced tea is ready!
