Originally I was just going to dry some mint because I'm obsessed with drying herbs right now. After it was dry, I decided to make Mint Lemon Tea. I tried looking for a recipe off the internet, but I couldn't find one. I decided to just make one up. Here is the Mint drying process and making Mint Lemon Tea process.
MINT PLANT
JOSCELINE PICKED THE MINT. HERE SHE IS SEPERATING THE WASHED "YUCKY" MINT FROM THE "GOOD" MINT.
UH OH! SHE CAUGHT ME SNAPPING PICTURES.
MINT LEAVES READY FOR DRYING
DRIED MINT LEAVES
"STEEPING" ABOUT 1 TABLESPOON OF MINT LEAVES AND 1 CUP OF HOT WATER
SLICES OF LEMON FOR TEA
SLICES OF LEMON WITH 1 CUP OF HOT WATER
LEMON WATER + MINT WATER = MINT LEMON TEA
I also added 2 tsp of sugar and a squirt of honey before tasting the results. Wish I had some dried Stevia leaves. That would have been interesting.
Next time I'll increase the dried mint leaves to about 2 Tablespoons and only use 1 slice of lemon.
