Ingredients

  • 1 generous pinch loose leaf tea I used jasmine green tea; substitute your preference
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup
  • ¼ lime or lemon cut in two
  • 8 mint leaves
  • 1 big splash rum

Instructions 

  • Place the tea leaves in a cup.
  • Pour in half a cup of hot water.
  • Let steep for two minutes.
  • Throw out the water.
  • Pour another half cup of hot water into the cup of tea.
  • Leave to steep for at least five minutes (the longer the tea steeps, the more bitter the tea).
  • Strain the tea and cool.
  • Place the lime or lemon and mint leaves in a glass and muddle (see notes after the recipe).
  • Drop about four ice cubes into the glass.
  • Pour in the tea and the simple syrup.
  • Stir. That’s a very, very good iced tea you have there already.
  • Pour in rum and stir.

Connie’s Notes

You can prepare this drink in two ways — as a cocktail drink or as a non-alcoholic iced beverage. If course, the non-alcoholic version won’t be a anything similar to a mojito and you can call it anything you like. Like minted iced tea. It’s really very good.
But if you feel a little naughty and you want to take that extra step to turn your iced tea into a mojito-like drink, go ahead and pour in a little (or more than a little) rum.
I started out with just 1/4 of a lemon but the drink tasted wrong and I added the juice from another 1/4 lemon so, in the ingredients list, I just placed “1/2 lemon”.
