Triple Mint Blessing
This is a pleasant, refreshing, everyday brew.
In my garden I grow mint, three kinds: Spearmint, chocolate mint and a mild mint that’s locally known as “apple mint”. I harvest and dry enough to fill 2 large jars of each. Then I put the dry leaves through the blender just to chop them a bit (but not to reduce them to dust!) I blend the 4 herbs. Together they make a very good brew that tastes much better than any mint tea I’ve ever purchased. These 4 herbs are easy to grow for the beginning gardener, so be brave and see what happens!
Ingredients:
Spearmint
Apple Mint
Chocolate Mint
Lemon Verbena
Method:
Place a heaped teaspoonful of mixture into infuser basket or tea ball; add hot water. Let brew for 4-5 minutes. Remove infuser basket or tea ball. Add a single drop of honey if desired. Stir.
