Boil the Water: Bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil in a large pot.

Brew the Tea: Remove the pot from the heat and add the black tea bags and fresh mint leaves. Let it steep for about 10 minutes.

Sweeten It Up: Remove the tea bags and mint leaves. Add the honey while the tea is still warm. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.

Cool It Down: Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.

Add the Citrus: Once chilled, stir in the fresh lemon juice and lime juice.

Spike It (Optional): If you’re looking to add an extra kick, now’s the time to stir in the 1/2 cup of vodka or gin.

Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the iced tea over. Garnish with slices of lemon, lime, and a sprig of fresh mint.
