There are many options to use up all the mint from the garden. The easiest way and my increasing go-to on a weekly basis is this garden mint tea.

I love this idea! I’m curious, though – do you think the fresh mint might lead this to spoil faster than if I just made a pitcher of the tea and kept it in my fridge?
This is so good and I love this method for making it. It’s become part of my daily routine for summer.
Thanks
I found out the hard way that mint spreads…and won’t die. So…I’m using it. Thank you for this recipe! I’m already a green tea drinker but I always drank it hot. This iced version is delicious!!
