Place mint in a jelly bag (used for straining jelly) or wrap in cheesecloth and tie with a string.

Place prepared mint and green tea bags in a 2 quart pitcher.

Add water to your tea pot or sauce pan and bring to a simmer.

Pour 2 c. of tap water over the mint and tea bags.

Add the remaining 6 c. of hot water to the pitcher to make 2 quarts.

Steep at least 10 minutes, more if you like your tea a little stronger. Remove the tea bags and mint and discard them.

Let chill overnight or until cold. Serve over ice.
