Bring 500ml of water to a near-boil. Remove from heat, add tea bags, and steep 3–4 minutes. Remove bags without squeezing.
Pour the tea into a large pitcher. Add the remaining 500ml of cold water, lemon juice, and mint leaves.
Refrigerate until cold (at least 30 min), or place in freezer for 10 minutes for quick chilling.
Serve over ice with a lemon slice and a sprig of fresh mint. Keeps up to 48h in the fridge.
