Sweet Mint & Basil Iced Tea
A friend of mine made this, I don't know where she got the recipe. The mint and basil seem like an unusual mix but actually blend well together. You could also just make mint iced tea using your own recipe and throw in the basil for something different.
Sweet Mint & Basil Iced Tea
Half a bunch of fresh mint (about 1 ounce)
Half a bunch of fresh basil (about 1/2 an ounce)
¼ cup honey
8 c water (1/2 gallon)
Pour 4 cups of boiling water over the herbs and let them steep for about 10 minutes. Strain the tea, boil the other 4 cups of water and steep the leaves again.
Mix all of the tea and honey together in a large pitcher. Taste test it and if it’s too strong, add a little water to your liking. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
