I sell this unsweetened iced tea at my farmers' market booth. We only make it between April and October because it has a short shelf life and we don't sell enough to make it worthwhile during the rest of the year. People are always asking for the recipe so I'm posting it here, in honor of the fact that it's April now so we've started making it again.
1 quart water
2 peppermint tea bags or 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh ginger (no need to peel)
Combine the ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan and bring them to a boil. Turn off the heat and steep for at least ten minutes. Strain the mixture and pour it over ice to cool it, or cool in in the refrigerator and then dilute it to your desired strength.
