Begin by heating up the water until just bubbling, not yet a rolling boil.

Measure 1 to 2 tablespoons of organic loose-leaf green tea, depending on your strength and taste preferences. If trying this tea for the first time, start with 1 tablespoon.

Add your measured loose-leaf tea to a clean tea diffuser.

Place the tea diffuser inside the mug or teapot and carefully pour the hot (not boiling) water over the top of the tea.

Allow the tea to settle and steep for 2-3 minutes.

While steeping, place the fresh organic mint leaves into the small cup of lime juice.

Gently, but firmly press the leaves to the bottom of the cup, releasing the mint's natural oils into the lime juice.

Give the mixture a bit of a swirl to combine the flavors and natural healing properties.

After 2-3 minutes have passed, remove the steeper from the mug. Carefully pour the lime and mint mixture into your mug of hot tea. Depending on your preference, you may remove the mint leaves or leave them in your tea.

Stir your mixture of tea and allow it to cool. Add ice if you'd like an iced tea
