Peppermint Tea Recipe Recipe

How to make it

---

• If you are making peppermint tea, take 10 fresh mint leaves and rinse them properly under the faucet.
• Once properly rinsed, rub the leaves in between your fingers.
• By doing so, you will be releasing the flavor of the herb.
• You can also use a mortar or a pestle to crush the leaves.
• Additionally, you can use the back of a spoon to lightly crush them if you do not have the aforementioned tools.
• Ensure that you don't over crush the leaves.
• Take a mug, and place the lightly crushed leaves in it.
• Meanwhile, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
• Once boiled, allow the water to cool slightly before you pour it in the mug.
• Remember that, peppermint tea brews well in hot water and not boiling water.
• Carefully pour the water on the peppermint leaves, after you have let the water cool.
• Once all the leaves are submerged in the water, cover the mug and let it steep for at least 7 minutes.
• If you want the tea to be stronger, let it steep for longer -probably around 15 minutes.
• After that, strain the leaves out using a filter or a spoon.
• You can also add sugar or honey to your tea as per taste.
• Furthermore, you can enhance the taste by adding lemon to it.
