Add the water to a small saucepan. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the tea bags. Let steep for 4 minutes. (Be sure the tea bags are submerged.) Discard the tea bags. Let the tea mixture cool for 30 minutes. Pour into a water pitcher. Refrigerate for 2 hours, or until chilled. -
At serving time, add the mint leaves to four glasses. Using a muddler or wooden spoon, mash the mint leaves several times to release their juices. (Don’t mash into pulp.) Add the ice. -
Stir the white grape juice and lime juice into the tea mixture. Pour into the glasses. Garnish each with a lime wedge and remaining mint leaf.
Cooking Tip: To get more juice from citrus, before slicing, microwave the fruit on 100% power (high) for 30 seconds, or until warm. When cool enough to handle, use a citrus reamer or handheld juice press to juice the citrus.
