SIMPLE STEP-BY-STEP RECIPE FOR MAKING FRESH MINT TEA:
- Water (1 cup per serving)
- Optional: Honey or sweetener of choice
- Optional: Lemon slices
1. Prepare the Mint:
- Rinse the fresh mint leaves thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
2. Boil Water:
- Bring the desired amount of water to a boil. You'll need approximately 1 cup of water for each serving of tea.
3. Add Mint Leaves:
- Place the fresh mint leaves in your teapot or directly into your cup. You can bruise the leaves slightly with a spoon or your hands to release more flavor.
4. Pour Hot Water:
- Pour the boiling water over the mint leaves in the teapot or cup.
5. Steep the Mint:
- Let the mint leaves steep in the hot water for about 5-7 minutes. Steeping time can vary based on your desired strength of the tea.
6. Optional Additions:
- If you like, add a slice of lemon for a citrusy twist or a teaspoon of honey or sweetener to taste.
7. Strain (Optional):
- If you used loose mint leaves directly in the cup, you may want to strain the tea as you pour it into another cup to remove the leaves. If you used a teapot with a built-in strainer, this step may not be necessary.
8. Serve:
- Pour the mint tea into cups and enjoy! It's a refreshing and soothing beverage.
Feel free to adjust the mint and sweetener quantities based on your taste preferences. This mint tea can be served hot or chilled over ice for a refreshing iced tea version. Mint Tea has a wide range of health benefit click here
