So, my mint plant has been growing like crazy the past few
weeks. What’s one to do with all those excess leaves? The simplest and easiest way to use them up
is by making an ingenuous tea. Summer or winter, chilled or hot, I love my mint
tea.
Mint Tea
What you'll need:
About 20-30 fresh mint leaves (depends on how big they are
or sometimes I loose count, haha)
Honey (or sugar) to taste - if desired. Start with about 1
tbsp per cup (I eyeball it)
1 Lemon
Instructions:
HEAT the water to a roiling boil.
ADD the mint leaves and sweetener as desired (or none at
all), 3-4 lemon slices. Stir and continue to boil for 2-3 minutes, remove from
heat. Continue to let the leaves steep.
REMOVE from heat.
POUR/STRAIN tea into a pitcher (over ice or not, it’s your
call!)
(Side note: I strain mine by putting my strainer over the top of my pitcher (hold on
to it), then pour the mix slowly into it.)
SERVE in mugs or glasses, chilled, over ice or hot.
Enjoy!
