Double Mint Iced Tea

This Double Mint Iced Tea will keep you cool in the summer! It’s refreshing + vegan + gluten-free and sweetened with rice syrup.

I love the summer, I really do.. but does it have to be so hot? :D Thankfully, I found a few ways to keep cool and productive even on the hottest days. My go-to refreshments for the summer are:

• Cantaloupe Ice Cream
• Raspberry Popsicles
• Strawberry Nice Cream Shake
• aaaand homemade Iced Tea

Peppermint tea is probably my favorite of all teas, so I knew I had to make a Mint Iced Tea. I’ve also added some fresh mint from the balcony garden, so this makes it a Double Mint Iced Tea. Iced teas are often sweetened with honey, but as this is a vegan version, I’ve used rice syrup (my favorite liquid sweetener) but agave syrup or maple syrup would be possible substitutions.
