Step 1

Start by pouring hot water into a glass and dropping in the tea bags. Let it steep until the water turns a deep color, about 4 minutes, then take out the tea bags. Next, gently crush the spearmint leaves at the bottom of a 12-ounce glass to release their flavor. Fill the glass with ice, then add the brewed tea and simple syrup. Finally, pour in the vodka and give everything a good stir to combine. Enjoy!
