This refreshing twist on green tea takes a bit of time to make, but its extraordinarily crisp taste is worth the effort.

5 cups water
1 cup peeled sliced fresh ginger
4 bags green tea
1 bunch fresh mint, divided
24 packets Equal® sweetener*
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup lemonade

Preparation

Bring water and ginger to boiling in a large saucepan on medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
Add tea bags and 10 sprigs of the mint. Let mixture steep for 8 minutes.
Remove tea bags and strain tea. Discard ginger and mint. Stir in Equal until dissolved. Cool tea to room temperature. Stir in orange juice and lemonade.
