Ingredients
Instructions
-
Begin by washing the fresh mint leaves thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
-
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the 4 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
-
Once the water starts boiling, add the washed mint leaves to the saucepan. Allow the leaves to steep in the hot water for about 5 minutes.
-
After steeping, turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down for another 5 minutes. This will allow the flavors of the mint to infuse beautifully into the water.
-
Next, using a fine-mesh strainer or a sieve, strain the mint leaves from the tea, ensuring you have a clean infusion free of any solid particles.
-
Sweeten the mint tea by stirring in the honey until it's completely dissolved. Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more honey if desired.
-
For an extra zing, consider adding slices of lemon to the tea. This will give your mint tea a citrusy twist that complements the mint flavors beautifully.
-
If you prefer your tea chilled, simply add ice cubes to a glass before pouring the mint tea over them. Stir gently to mix the ice with the tea and enjoy a cool, refreshing drink.
