I love that this is a year-round sipper instead of just being reserved for summer! The combination of spearmint with The Big Fig green tea sounds so refreshing, and the homemade lime-mint simple syrup is such a nice touch. I’ve been looking for new non-alcoholic drink recipes to mix up my afternoons, and this one fits perfectly. It only takes 10 minutes of active prep, which is totally doable even on busy workdays. Can’t wait to give it a try this weekend!
