Instructions: Hi everyone: I still havent caught up with all those boxes, or all my including this one for ice tea. Its from The Ethnic Vegetarian Kitchen by Shanta Nimbark Sacharoff. Its my favorite ice tea recipe and I often make 3-4 batches at a time.

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan and remove from heat. Add tea leaves (put in tea infuser for less of a mess) and mint leaves (use tea infuser for dried mint as well). Cover the pot and steep for 5 minutes.

Remove tea leaves and mint leaves. (For a more intense mint flavor leave mint in for 5 minutes longer.)

Strain if not using infusers, stir in honey or sugar (about 1/2 cup) until dissolved. Add ice water and lemon or lime juice. Stir well and pour into glasses with ice cubes.

Note: I have also tried this recipe using lemon balm instead of the mint.

It gives it a different taste and is also good.
