Minty Lemonade

Springtime is lemonade season to me and this minty version is really good. Of course you can adapt this recipe to use fresh lemons, but I always keep a couple of cans of the concentrate in my freezer because it tastes so fresh made this way.
Try this lemonade and see if you don't feel a rush of springtime too~



3 tablespoons crushed fresh mint leaves
1 quart boiling water
1/2 cup instant iced tea powder
1 cup white sugar
2 quarts cold water
1 (6 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed

In a 1 gallon pitcher, combine the mint leaves, 1 quart of boiling water, instant tea powder and sugar. Stir to dissolve sugar. Let stand for 15 minutes.
Stir in the cold water and lemonade concentrate. Strain out mint leaves, if desired. Serve in tall glasses over ice.
