In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add the sliced ginger and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This will help extract all that lovely ginger flavor.

After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and add the fresh mint leaves. Cover the pot and let it steep for another 10 minutes. The mint will infuse the tea with its refreshing aroma.

Once steeped, strain the tea into a large pitcher to remove the ginger and mint leaves. Stir in the honey while the tea is still warm, so it dissolves easily. Taste and adjust the sweetness as desired.

Let the tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it until it's chilled. This usually takes about 1-2 hours, but you can also speed things up by placing it in the freezer for about 30 minutes—just keep an eye on it!

When you’re ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled ginger mint tea over the ice. Garnish with extra mint leaves if you like, and enjoy!
