Spearmint Tea


Spearmint tea is simple enough to make.  Growing spearmint provides me with a steady stream of fresh mint, which I dry and store in the pantry (to avoid light degradation)

To make spearmint tea:
  • boil water
  • approx. 1 tsp dried mint leaves per 2 cups (approx) water
  • Steep mint 5-6 minutes, and remove mint leaves.
  • Pour, add sugar to taste and enjoy! (I usually add a leaf to the cup for a little extra flavor and texture)
Tip: spearmint tea is very light in color; a full cup will only be slightly green.
