Mint Iced Tea

After getting a sample of mint tea from the farmers' market AND realizing that my mint was starting to flower and needed to be cut back, I was inspired to make mint iced tea.


I combined cut up spearmint leaves with orange pekoe tea bags.


Steeped for 4 minutes.


Strained it, stirred in a few spoonfuls of honey, added ice and VOILA!


It makes for a very refreshing iced tea.

  2. Oh my gosh, mint is very easy to grow! A word of caution, I would advise planting it in a pot. I once put it in a raised bed garden and within the year, it had spread all throughout the garden.
