Ingredients:

• 5 bags of black tea
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 handfuls of fresh mint
• 4 cups water

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil and add in your 5 tea bags, 2 cups sugar and two handfuls of mint. Allow all to simmer while sugar dissolves (approx. 5 minutes), continually stirring.

Strain your tea, sugar and mint liquid into your serving pitcher and then add in the juice from 3 limes.

Add in 1 1/2 cups light rum to your tea mixture along with 1 cup of cool water and another handful of mint. Stir and chill.
