Lemon Drop Tea

I love lemon drops. And along with the addition of the mint, this is a very refreshing drink.

3 quarts water, divided

1 family-size tea bag

24 pieces lemon drop candy

1 cup mint leaves, crushed

Bring 1 quart of water to a boil. Add the tea bag, lemon drop candy, and mint leaves. Remove from the heat. Let stand for 20 minutes. Remove the tea bag and mint leaves. Add the remaining 2 quarts of water. Serve over ice.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
