    Method: 

    Bring the water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Turn off the water and add the tea. Cover and steep 4 to 5 minutes. Rinse the mint and add it to the pot. Cover and steep 5 minutes more. Add the sugar and stir to combine. Strain and serve. Garnish with a mint sprig.

    To serve chilled, allow the tea to reach room temperature, then transfer the tea to a pitcher, cover and refrigerate until cold. Serve in a tall glass with ice and a mint sprig for garnish.
