4 tea bags
12 sprigs fresh mint
3 cups boiling water
1 cup white sugar
1 cup orange juice
ΒΌ cup lemon juice
3 cups cold water, or more to taste
1 cup light rum, or more to taste
Directions
Place tea bags and mint sprigs into a large pitcher. Pour in boiling water; steep for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove tea bags and mint; before discarding, squeeze excess tea back into pitcher. Stir in sugar until dissolved; add orange juice and lemon juice. Pour in cold water and rum. Refrigerate at least 4 hours to overnight.
Cook's Notes:
It's better to use a light rum (also called white or silver rum) rather than a spiced rum in this drink so that the mint and citrus flavors are not overshadowed.
