(but i like it strong and it depends whether people only like a small hint of it or not.) I'll definitely try it again :) This seems like a very easy a quick recipe :)

I just made some chamomile, lemon mint, peppermint tea and couldn't be happier with myself for planting my herb garden this year. I will use your tea recipe after work tomorrow. I love your blog.

Then I let it steep in recently boiled water for at least 10 minutes before straining it. I have a variety called Cotton Candy mint which is quite nice. It isn't as harsh as some other varieties and makes a very smooth cup of tea.

They used a combination of black India tea and mint but I've never been able to get it right. I once had mint tea at a Lebanese restaurant and it was fantastic.

In fact, I may have to get some fresh mint in a while to go into some apricot iced tea I have on hand! (I even have fresh apricots, too!)

(I turn my jar upside down, just habit). When done, take inside and refrigerate. It's really wonderful.

These usually consisted of putting whatever flavour you wanted into a cup, and then adding water. So for mint tea, it was a bunch of mint leaves into a cup and pour water over the top. Yum! Smee for ginger and honey. A piece of ginger and a spoon of honey into a cup, and add hot water. Easy. When I was in China last year, we drank alot of herbal teas.

I thought I'd sent you a reply but can't see it so perhaps it got lost in the wires. I saw this post and went to make some immediately as my mint was looking good. It was delicious but it was such a hot day I decided to add the juice of a lime and put it in a big glass jug in the fridge. It made a lovely cool drink too. I then followed it with a lunch of my broad bean shoots with butter, salt and pepper. Then I saw your PDF on how to put together a Blog and you inspired me for a 3rd time that day, this time to put together a blog for us: http://thingswemake.wordpress.com/. I love your blog and want to thank you for galvanising me into action on all these things! Hi. I thought I’d sent you a reply but can’t see it so perhaps it got lost in the wires.

Will give it a try! Yes, Pimms and childminding don't get on. Wish it weren't so. came to this hoping it would be about making your own dried mint teabags - but actually, this is probably better.
