One of the best mint teas I ever drank was from one of the vegetable vendors
at the Union Square Greenmarket in Manhattan.  They sold cups of the stuff
iced at a reasonable price and it was great!  A mix of peppermint,
spearmint, applemint and a bit of lemon if I remember correctly.

I was able to make a reasonable imitation at home by playing around with the
ingredients a bit.
