How to Make
Steep the Minty Bliss tea bags for 3–5 minutes. Remove the bags and allow the tea to cool before refrigerating.
Spread fine sugar or salt on a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rims of two glasses, then dip the rims into the sugar or salt.
Add the chilled peppermint tea, lime juice, orange juice and agave syrup to a shaker or tightly sealed jar with ice.
Shake for 10–15 seconds, until the mixture is extremely cold. Taste and add a little more agave if the limes are especially tart.
Fill the prepared glasses with fresh ice and strain in the mint mixture.
Top each glass with sparkling water. Garnish with a lime wheel and a generous sprig of fresh mint.
Tea Substitution
Use Moroccan Mint for a more traditional green-tea mint character. Minty Bliss remains the best caffeine-free option.
