You can use another prepared black tea if you have a different favorite or brew tea to use (make it strong!). Look for something without too much added sugar. Earl Grey or Ginger Peach black tea would probably be delicious!
Honey, lemon juice from 1/4 of a lemon, a few ice cubes, plus some fresh mint for garnish help make it super refreshing.

Stir with a bar spoon, then clap the sprig of mint in between your palms once or twice before you add it to the glass. It will release even more fragrance! Your nose will love it, trust me!
