Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 4 cups filtered water
  • 2 large sprigs mint ((you want 12 to 14 leaves per sprig))

Instruction

  • Bring the filtered water to a boil in a tea kettle or saucepan over high heat.
  • Place the mint sprigs in a heatproof vessel or a French press or divvy the mint sprigs between 2 tea cups or mugs and pour in enough hot water over the mint to fill the cups or mugs. Let the mint steep for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on how mild or potent you take your tea, occasionally tilting the vessel, cups, or mugs to swirl the water against the mint sprigs.
  • Remove and discard the mint. Serve the mint tea immediately, letting the tea cool slightly before sipping. Originally published August 08, 2015.
