How To Make iced mint orange honey tea

  • Step 1
    Wash the mint and place it in a large glass pitcher. Add the orange pieces, then the honey. Use a wooden spoon or muddler to crush the ingredients until they're lightly broken up and the bottom of the pitcher contains orange juice mixed with mint and honey.
  • Step 2
    Add the cold water and stir. Place the tea bags on top and cover the pitcher with plastic wrap.
  • Step 3
    Place the pitcher on a counter for up to 12 hours, or until the mixture reaches the desired strength.
  • Step 4
    Remove the tea bags and squeeze any remaining liquid from them back into the pitcher.
