How to Brew Fresh Mint Tea

Mint is one of the best teas, it can be served hot or iced and is naturally sweet. Mint is also beneficial health wise, especially to an upset stomach.

Things You'll Need

• Water
• A pitcher or teapot
• About ten sprigs of fresh spear and pepper mint
• A tea kettle

Instructions

1. Get your mint. Fresh mint can be bought at the grocery store or grown in any home garden.

2. For Hot Mint Tea: Boil your water in the kettle. While the water is boiling, warm your teapot by placing it in a sink, bowl etc. of hot water (straight from the sink). When the water comes to a boil, dry off your teapot and place mint inside of it. Pour the boiling water into your teapot, over the mint. Let seep for 3-5 minutes. Pour and enjoy!

3. For Iced Mint Tea: Boil a cup of water in your kettle. Place mint in the bottom of the pitcher, pour boiling water in. Let seep 3-5 minutes, if you want to add sugar, now is the time to do it. A 1/4 to a 1/3 cup of sugar sweetens an entire pitcher. Once your tea has seeped, fill with cold water and place in fridge until you are ready to serve. Pour over ice and enjoy!

4. As you can see, mint tea is meant to be enjoyed. I hope you enjoy its refreshing properties all summer and its warmth in the winter.
