Mint Tea

Pin it

In the hot, lazy days of summer there is nothing quite like a pitcher of iced herbal tea.  We are thoroughly enjoying our chocolate mint plant.  I transplanted it from a cloddy clay area early this spring.  It took awhile to show it appreciated the move (root shock, etc.) but it has fully recovered now and is growing vigorously.  Below is a recipe found on a forum with iVllage Garden Web.

Recipe:

  • 3 TBSP mint leaves per cup of water.
  • Boil water w/ a spoonful of sugar.
  • Pour water into teapot or cup prepared with the mint leaves.
  • Steep about 5 minutes.
  • Pour through a strainer and drink.
