Fresh mint tea
Have you ever grown mint? It’s essentially a weed that grows profusely. I first enjoyed a glass of this extremely refreshing beverage in an outdoor market in Asidah in Morocco. Once you've made your own tea with fresh mint leaves, hot water, and sugar, you'll never be able to stand for a tea bag again. If you grow mint in your garden, you can make this fragrant and sweet beverage with hot water and sugar. It's an easy mental refresher; oddly enough, I enjoy it on cold and hot days. Servings 1 Prep Time 1 minute Cook Time 4 minutes Total Time 5 minutes Ingredients A handful of washed mint leaves 1-2 Tsp Sugar Hot water Directions Boil water. Break off mint to be mostly leaves, wash, then add to your glass. Pour the hot water over the mint leaves. Stir in sugar and let it steep for four minutes. There is no need to remove the mint leaves. It's ready to drink. Enjoy the fragrance of the leaves. When finished, you can repeat the water and sugar two or three times.
