Thirsty? This ginger mint iced tea is refreshing, healthy and delicious. Put together a jar in minutes using only a handful of clean, simple and fresh ingredients. So easy!

Hello everyone! I hope you’re holding up well. The beautiful spring sunshine certainly helps. It’s always nice to get back outside and do a little yard work. Helps to switch things up, right?!

With the arrival of warm weather, we’ve definitely been reaching for more cold drinks. So, once again, I’ve been making different flavours of homemade iced tea. Over the spring and summer months, I tend to keep an oversized jar or two in the fridge at any given time. This ginger mint iced tea recipe has become one of our favourites since it’s caffeine-free, tummy-soothing and so tasty. It has many benefits!

Homemade Ginger Mint Iced Tea

At first, I wasn’t going to share this iced tea recipe since it’s so darn easy. I thought everyone was doing this sort of thing…

However, while at the grocery store this week, I saw several shoppers with jugs of iced tea in their carts which tells me, maybe not?

So, here I am sharing this super simple way to make iced tea for much, much less than store bought. It’s also a good way to reduce wasteful packaging.

And, probably the most important reason to make iced tea from scratch is being able to control the ingredients. Craft it with little or no caffeine, sweet or unsweetened, light or robust in flavour. The possibilities are endless!

You can even grow your own herbs to use fresh or dried.

I grow mint and dry it to make steeped tea. Of course, you can infuse water with fresh mint too.

Another good one to try in small doses is English lavender.
