Iced Green Tea Infused with Fresh Mint and Ginger

I am quite the coffee addict - iced or hot, this is my caffeine of choice. However, sometimes on a hot summer day, I crave something besides an iced coffee like a refreshing glass of iced tea.  Growing up we made quite a bit of sun tea during the and throughout college in the South, sweet tea was always on the menu.  When I do drink iced tea I prefer it to be barely sweetened and bursting with freshness, courtesy of either fresh herbs or fruit.  Here I made iced green tea infused with ginger and mint - the perfect drink for a hot summer day. Which do you prefer, coffee or tea?

A Few Things: Instead of mint tea bags, I used green tea for an extra antioxidant punch and a dose of caffeine.
