I have fond memories of visiting my grandparents when I was young. My grandma and I would wake up early and make her famous tea. Then we would sit on the deck and chat about everything under the sun. Times spent with my grandparents are very precious to me, may they rest in peace.
In honor of my grandma, I would love to share the recipe she passed down to me.

1 glass quart jar
1/2 c loose green tea leaves
1/2c mint leaves

I was just thinking about making some tomorrow morning. I live on sun tea during the summer months.
