Mint Garden Tea Concentrate Recipes

Steps:

• Take a few leaves of the mint in one hand and sharply clap your other hand on top, then drop the leaves into a teapot or cafetiere. Repeat with the rest of the mint, saving a few small sprigs for each glass as a garnish.
• Fill up the pot with boiling water and let it infuse for 2-3 mins or until the liquid starts to take on a slight pale yellow/green hue. Strain the tea into cups or heatproof glasses and sweeten with honey to taste. Drop the reserved mint into the cups to decorate if you like.

Steps:

• Fill a stovetop kettle with water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat; add mint leaves, hibiscus petals, and lemon juice. Stir once or twice and cover. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes before serving either hot or iced.
