Tips:

  • Fresh mint leaves: For the best flavor, use fresh mint leaves. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Steeping time: The longer you steep the tea, the stronger the flavor will be. For a light flavor, steep for 5-7 minutes. For a stronger flavor, steep for 10-12 minutes.
  • Sweetener: You can sweeten your tea with sugar, honey, or another sweetener of your choice. If you're using honey, add it after the tea has cooled slightly to prevent the honey from losing its flavor.
  • Garnish: Garnish your tea with a sprig of mint or a slice of lemon for a refreshing touch.
