Triple Green Iced Tea

This is a recent concoction of mine, inspired by the warmer weather I hope is on it's way, and the fantastic combination of mint and lime (and the Mojito!).

Ingredients:
  • 12 cups Water
  • loose leaf Moroccan Mint Tea* (enough for 2, 6 cup, pots)
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
Method:

Boil 6 cups of water (this is as much at my kettle and tea pot will take).
Put some Moroccan Mint tea into a "tea ball" and drop into tea pot.
Fill the tea pot with the hot water and steep for 3-5 minutes.
Pour resulting tea into a jug.
Repeat with the rest of the water and tea.
Add the sugar and lime juice to the tea and refrigerate.
Enjoy your iced tea.

* Moroccan Mint tea is a combination of green tea, and mint (both peppermint and spearmint). Hence the Triple Green name for green tea, green mint, and green lime.
