homemade iced tea recipe lemon (with)/and mint

We can’t put sun in the hiding place so that we can escape this intolerable summer months! it’s totally impossible.My throat dries up every second with this throbbing heat that too this year it has started at its peak from march itself.I don’t even understand how we are going to manage coming months.Only way that we know is to keep ourselves chilled out with loads of naturally available body cooling foods.For quenching our thirst usually we have fridge water handy but more than that earthen pot water will always be a better option and I always have a practice to enjoy this pot water althrough these summer months!its totally refreshing.The same thing with homemade iced tea recipe lemon (with)/and mint its so refreshing that I added(earthen) pot water with it and enjoyed.But in order to show you the exact way it is made I have clicked it with some ice cubes but instead of ice-cubes you can chill this tea for some time in fridge and have a total revitalized feel.Adding mint leaves and lemon juice is the total highlight of this drink.Even tea bags/green tea can be used to make this iced tea.
