Preparation
Preparing the Tea Ingredients
Clean the Mint Leaves
Rinse the mint leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or residue.
Boil Water
Boil 4 cups of water in a kettle.

Prepare the Tea
If using loose-leaf tea, place in a small tea infuser; if using tea bags, set aside.
Preparing the Garnish
Gather Garnishes
Prepare extra mint sprigs and lemon or orange slices for garnish.
Set Aside
Set aside these garnishes for later use once the tea has brewed.
Cooking Process
Steep the Tea
Pour the boiled water over the green tea and mint leaves in a teapot. Let it steep for about 3-5 minutes.
