Texas Tea

Directions

1. 1
   Bring water to a boil in a large pot.
2. 2
   Add tea bag, lemon drops, and mint leaves.
3. 3
   Turn off the heat and let steep as long as you prefer (I usually only let it steep about 15 minutes).
4. 4
   When tea has reached desired strength, remove tea bag and mint leaves.
5. 5
   At this point, you may stir in some sugar, if desired- as much or as little as you prefer.
6. 6
   Chill and serve over ice.
7. 7
   Note:If you prefer, you may leave tea unsweetened initially and add sweetener by the glass as it is served.
8. 8
   However, adding sweetener when the tea has freshly brewed will dissolve the sugar better.
