Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 4 cups water
- 1 piece green tea bag (optional)
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
- 2 slices lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh mint leaves under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris, and set them aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the fresh mint leaves. If using a green tea bag, add it to the water as well.
Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the mint steep for 5-7 minutes to infuse the water with its flavor.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully strain the tea into a teapot or directly into cups to remove the mint leaves (and the tea bag, if used).
If you prefer a touch of sweetness, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of honey while the tea is still warm, adjusting to taste.
Pour the mint tea into cups and garnish with a slice of lemon, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
