Instructions
Make The Mint Tea: Combine the ginger and 6 cups of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Once it boils, immediately remove it from heat and add the tea bags and mint. Cover and let steep until well flavored, about 15 minutes.
Strain the liquid into a large pitcher or other heatproof container; discard the tea bags, mint, and ginger slices. Chill the tea in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
Serve The Tea: Just before serving, add 1/3 cup of the honey and 1 tablespoon of the lemon or lime juice and stir to combine. Taste and add more honey if you want it sweeter and more lemon juice if you want it more sour or less sweet. Serve in tall glasses over ice cubes and add more mint leaves to garnish.
