Curiously Good Peppermint Tea Recipes

FRESH MINT TEA

Steps:

• Take a few leaves of the mint in one hand and sharply clap your other hand on top, then drop the leaves into a teapot or cafetiere. Repeat with the rest of the mint, saving a few small sprigs for each glass as a garnish.
• Fill up the pot with boiling water and let it infuse for 2-3 mins or until the liquid starts to take on a slight pale yellow/green hue. Strain the tea into cups or heatproof glasses and sweeten with honey to taste. Drop the reserved mint into the cups to decorate if you like.

PEPPERMINT ICED TEA

Steps:

• Steep mint leaves for 5 minutes. Keep in mind, a longer steeping time of dried mint leaves may give a bitter aftertaste. If you don't have dried peppermint leaves, fresh peppermint leaves can be used. To do this, just use a handful of fresh mint leaves in place of the dried. However, fresh leaves have a sharper flavor. Most of the time, I use dried leaves. If you are using fresh mint leaves, steep for 10 minutes. Drain the leaves before the color gets too dark. Fresh mint leaves will give a brighter tea, unlike dried mint leaves.
• Add honey and stir.
• Pour the tea into 2 tall glasses filled with ice.
