Latex Free Classic Mint Iced Tea

Few drinks hit the spot quite like a tall glass of cold, minty tea on a warm afternoon. This version layers the bold depth of steeped black tea with the cool brightness of fresh mint, all balanced by a quick homemade simple syrup that lets you dial the sweetness exactly where you want it. The process is straightforward — steep, strain, chill, and pour — making it an easy go-to whether you're hosting a backyard gathering or just treating yourself on a slow afternoon. People managing latex sensitivities often have to watch out for certain tropical fruits and processed additives that sneak into store-bought beverages, but this recipe keeps things refreshingly clean with just a handful of whole, familiar ingredients. The fresh mint does serious heavy lifting here, infusing the tea during the steep and then showing up again as a fragrant garnish alongside bright lemon rounds. Pressing the spent mint through the strainer before discarding it pulls every last bit of flavor into the pitcher, so nothing goes to waste. Make a big batch, keep it in the fridge, and you'll find yourself reaching for it again and again all week long.
