1 - I made this and it was great, then I lost the recipe and I'm trying to recreate it.
1 ounce fresh mint leaves
4 cups boiling water
2 Tbsps. honey or other sweetener, to taste
fresh lemon or lime wedges (optional)
- Boil some water and remove from heat.
- Bundle and roll up the mint leaves with your fingers and give them a brief twist to release their oils. I'll roll/rub them in my hands once or twice just to bruise them. Add them to the hot water.
- Let it steep for 5 minutes, or until the tea reaches your desired strength.
- Strain the tea into its final container: mugs, cups, glasses, a carafe or a tea pot).
- Dilute the honey (or other sweetener) and add the citrus.
- Serve hot or iced.
- Optional garnish with extra mint and lemon/lime wedges.
