Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 1 slice Lemon slice (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh mint leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities.
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the mint leaves to the saucepan.
Lower the heat to a simmer and let the mint leaves steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired flavor intensity.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the tea into cups using a fine mesh strainer to catch the mint leaves.
If desired, stir in honey and garnish with a slice of lemon for added flavor.
Serve the mint tea hot and enjoy immediately, or let it cool and serve over ice for a refreshing iced mint tea.
