Instructions: In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of the water, the tea bags, and mint leaves. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes.

Discard tea bags and mint leaves and pour tea into a large pitcher. Add sugar and mix until dissolved. Stir in remaining 4 cups water. Serve over ice.

This recipe yields 6 servings.

Comments: For an adults-only kick, mix 1/4 cup bourbon into the tea just before serving.
