Mint and Lemon Cold Brew Tea

By alexisknibbs on Aug 26, 2024

The one thing I love about our garden is the pots on the patio. For the past few years I have decided to grow mint in the pots. After I drop my son Ted to school in the morning I come home and go into the garden. I pick the three varieties of mint we have growing in the garden. Then I come back inside and make myself a cup of mint and lemon tea. As it's summer I decided to make my mint tea into a cold brew. It was a deliciously refreshing drink that I now can't stop drinking. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Mint and Lemon Cold Brew Tea

Mint and Lemon Cold Brew Tea was a refreshing drink that I enjoyed all by myself. I love a herbal tea in the morning, afternoon and evening. I decided to drink this one after my lunch. It made a nice change from my usual mint tea. By adding the honey to it made a lovely change. It's one recipe I will be be remembering in future. However you decide to drink this tea, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
