Pour water into small saucepan and submerge mint in water.
2 fresh mint sprigs , 2 cups filtered water
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, remove from heat and immediately stir in coconut sugar or honey, stirring until completely dissolved.
2 teaspoons coconut sugar
Add tea bags to pot and cover, allowing to steep for 15 minutes.
2 bags green tea
Strain into glasses, allow to cool then add ice and enjoy!

Recipe can be made in large quantities as well to serve a crowd. To do so, increase water to 25 cups, use two whole bunches of mint (leaves removed from stems and washed), get yourself a very large pot with a tight fitting lid, 1 ½ cups of coconut sugar or honey (or to taste), and about 25 green tea bags (I use one tea bag per cup of water). Follow same steeping directions and serve in large pitcher with additional mint sprigs for garnish
