Le-Mint Mocktail (Lemon Mint Sun Tea)
This has been our go to mocktail for a couple summers now. Adding a bit of lemon to the mint and a bit of agave to balance it all out. That is one refreshing mint mocktail! Pour this lemon mint sun tea into a mason jar, over some ice, add a mint sprig and it just puts a smile on my face!
Servings 15
Ingredients
Mint Sun Tea
- 10 cups water
- 4 each mint tea bags
Le-Mint Mocktail (Batch)
- 4 cups fresh lemon juice
- 4 cups agave simple syrup (or half as much agave but will need to be stirred REALLY well)
Le-Mint Mocktail (Single)
- 2/3 cup mint sun tea
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup agave simply syrup
- 1 sprig mint
Instructions
Mint Sun Tea
- Add water and tea bags to a large pitcher (I prefer glass). Make sure it has extra room or you have another pitcher to split into as we're going to add a lot more liquid if you're making a batch.
- Set outside in the sun for about 2 - 4 hours depending on how warm it is. Don't worry too much about over steeping, it's just mint!
- Remove tea bags and refrigerate.
Le-Mint Mocktail (Batch)
- Juice a bunch of lemons to get your 4 cups of lemon juice... there's lemon halves everywhere!
- Add lemon juice and agave simple syrup to mint tea and mix thoroughly!
- Pour over iced glass, add a sprig of mint and enjoy!
Le-Mint Mocktail (Single)
- Add ice to a pint mason jar.
- Add 2/3 cup mint sun tea, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1/4 cup agave simple syrup.
- Close with a lid and shake to mix and chill.
- Remove lid, add a sprig of mint and enjoy!
Notes
Okay, this one can go batch style or single serving, your choice. We basically have a pitcher of mint tea in our refrigerator all summer long so we can use in these bad boys... or whatever else strikes our fancy. Sometimes I add a splash of club soda if that suits my fancy. Of course, this mint mocktail has on occasion been made into a proper cocktail... add some light rum and think lemony mojito.
