Ingredients
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup mint leaves, plus mint sprigs for garnish
4 cups brewed black tea, cooled (use 2 tea bags)
2 cups grapefruit juice

4 ounces rum
Directions
- Combine the sugar, water and mint leaves in a small saucepan. Heat on the stove top over low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mint has infused the syrup, about 10 minutes. Strain and cool.
