REFRESHING MINT TEA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Bring the water to a boil.
• Remove from the heat and add the fresh mint leaves. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on desired strength.
• Add optional sweetener. Start with 1 teaspoon per cup and add more as desired.
• If serving iced, fill tall glasses with ice and pour the tea over. If serving hot, pour the tea into mugs. Garnish with optional lemon slices and/or lemon juice to taste.

MINT TEA

Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil. When it's boiling, add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Turn off the heat.
• Drop the tea bags and the orange peel into a teapot. Rip the mint leaves and drop them in too. Pour the water into the teapot, put the lid on, and allow to steep for about 10 minutes.
• When you're ready to serve, pour into small glasses, using a tea strainer. If you can, try pouring a good few inches from the glass - this cools down the tea, and creates a light foam on top that is traditional. You can also chill this tea and serve over ice on hot days. Refreshing, and great for your digestion!
