I've tried this before, and sometimes the leaves lose their vibrant green color after freezing. Also, as you described, have you experimented with blanching the mint leaves quickly in boiling water before freezing them? This could help to preserve their color and also release even more of their flavor.

Your idea of a "mint tea ice cube" using a concentrated mint infusion sounds really intriguing! That would definitely pack a bigger flavor punch and maybe help with the color issue too. And the suggestion of adding lemon zest, lime, cucumber, or ginger is a brilliant way to customize the flavor combinations. Thanks for sharing those creative ideas! I'm definitely going to try experimenting with some of these variations.

Maybe there's a method like sun tea, but instead with whizzed lemon zest (optional: lime, cucumber, ginger) and mint in water?
