inUnpopular opinion: Potted mint makes iced tea taste off
Yeah, muddling with sugar like that reminds me of when I used lemon balm in my tea. I crushed it up with a spoon of sugar, but it made the drink taste like candy. I learned that some herbs just soak up sugar differently. Balance is key, but it's easy to overdo it. Now I skip the muddle and just stir in a little sweetener after brewing.
