Let’s talk Mojito’s, my friends. Honestly- I’ve never really liked them. I tend to stay away from rum because it’s too sweet for me and I’ll be real with you: I get really bad hangovers.  But why should I have to give them up when I can still drink them without the rum? My Mint Tea Mojito is SO simple and very festive for the holiday’s! You can actually serve it all year round, especially in the summer when you need something refreshing, but I think that the holiday’s this year are the perfect time for its debut!

I was actually very excited about this recipe because I received the cutest little package from Lux Tea Company, and one of the flavors was Moroccan Mint. You all know I love Morocco, and if you didn’t know… I also LOVE all things Mint!  I tried out the tea and it was strong.  A little product goes a long way, and I knew it would be delicious in more than just hot water and honey.

For those of you who don’t know about Lux Tea Company, it’s a brand that sells assorted flavors of premium loose leaf teas. I mean, they actually have anything and EVERYTHING.  You can find so many unique flavors such as Purple Lychee, if you are into something fruity, or Chocolate Chai, which is exactly what I’m into (with pieces of rich dark chocolate)… Yum!

This recipe requires you to make a quick Mint Tea infused simple syrup with some lime juice, club soda, and a handful of mint leaves.  Easy right? Since this is a mocktail, it’s enjoyable for all ages!  If you want to add some liquor, I recommend adding 4-6 shots of your favorite white rum for the entire recipe… not per serving lol!  I hope you guys enjoy my Mint Tea Mojito recipe and Happy Holidays! 😊
