- 1/2 cup dried lemon balm leaves
- 1/4 cup dried rose petals
- 2 tablespoons dried orange peel
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for serving)
- 1 slice per cup fresh lemon slices (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large, clean mixing bowl, combine the dried wild mint leaves, dried chamomile flowers, dried lemon balm leaves, dried rose petals, and dried orange peel.
Gently toss the ingredients together using clean hands or a wooden spoon until evenly mixed.
Transfer the tea mix to an airtight container or mason jar. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months to maintain freshness.
To prepare a cup of Wild Mint Tea, measure 1 tablespoon of the tea mix per 8 ounces of hot water.
Place the tea mix into a tea infuser, teapot, or tea bag. Pour hot (not boiling) water over the tea and let steep for 5 minutes.
Strain the tea into a cup and sweeten with honey if desired. Add a fresh lemon slice for an extra citrusy touch, if preferred.
Serve warm or let cool and pour over ice for a refreshing iced tea experience.
