This one is simple and the kids can help make it.

ingredients

  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves
  • 2 cups water
  • honey or sweetener of choice to taste

instructions

  1. Roughly tear the leaves with your hands and place them in a small strainer placed over a teapot or glass bowl.
  2. Bring the water to a boil and pour over the leaves. (The water should cover the leaves in the strainer)
  3. Cover the teapot or bowl and let the leaves steep for at least 5 minutes.
  4. Gently bruise the mint leaves with the back of a wooden spoon or a muddler to release the oils, then remove the strainer pressing on the leaves to extract as much liquid as possible.
  5. Pour into tea cups or mug and sweeten with honey or sugar to taste if desired.
