Lemon-Ginger Iced Tea with Mint



  I recently came across an interesting iced tea variant that sounded very refreshing, so armed with Mom's normal iced tea knowledge and a few new ideas I was off to the store to see what I could come up with.

Lemon-Ginger Iced Tea with Mint
5 Lemon-Ginger tea bags (or whatever floats your boat)
3 Bostons' Original Mint-in-Bags bags
3 pints cold water
1 pint boiling water
3/4 c sugar
juice from 1 lemon
orange slices
lemon slices
chopped fresh mint (coarse)

Steep tea bags in boiling water for 5 minutes. Retrieve and wring out tea bags. Discard. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Add cold water and lemon juice. Stir well. Serve over ice with orange, lemon and mint stirred in. Makes 1/2 gallon. Enjoy.
