Perfectly Minted Iced Tea

Sweet tea versus unsweetened tea—that’s a tough one. Many people who come to Brown Sugar Kitchen expect Southern-style super-sweet tea. They’re happily surprised by our lightly sweetened tea made with agave syrup. We brew the Calypso Mango black tea blend from local producer Mighty Leaf Tea from Marin County, just northwest of Oakland. Use any flavored black tea you like, such as Darjeeling or Earl Grey. Pick your favorite for this very simple recipe.
