It has been a wet spring but that is good news for my mint and rhubarb! I have always grown mint, or should I say that it has always grown itself (it's practically a weed) but have never done anything with it. I decided to give it a big ol' trim and make a big pot of tea.

| Remove the leaves from the stems and give them a rinse |
 |
| I think it would be about 4 leaves per 2 cups of water...so I filled the pot :0) |
 |
| Bring it to a boil |
 |
| Turn off and strain. You could leave it a little while longer depending on how strong you want it...I had a ridiculous amount of mint so I strained it right away and it was perfect |
 |
| Add a little honey (if you like) |
 |
| And serve! You can see the mint oils floating on the top...yum! |
I grow mint for the sole purpose of having mojitos all summer.
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe! I think I drank my weight in mint tea while in Morocco and have been looking for a good, easy recipe. I'm also a fan of serving it with a mint leaf in the glass.
ReplyDeleteMMMmmm...Mojitos! They go straight to my head so I only drink them when my sister comes to visit!
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of the mint tea left over in the fridge and I've been drinking it iced...yummy!! (I'll take a picture with a mint leaf in the glass Jess)
