Making iced green tea-
Finely chop the mint. Heat 2 cups of water until the water is hot, but
not more than 160°F. The water should basically be bubbling a little
and there should be some steam starting to rise, whereas with black
tea, you should reach a roaring boil. Remove from the stove.
Immediately place the mint leaves and tea bags into the water. Steep
the green tea for about 2 minutes (no longer!). Add agave nectar.
Strain the liquid and discard the tea bags and mint leaves.
Add ice cubes and let cool to room temperature.
