My Mint Tea Recipe (with lemon)

After work hard all day I used to drink mint tea for refresh. It is easy to prepare in 3-5 minutes. With something that you always have in your kitchen.


Ingredients :

• ½ teaspoon tea or 1 bag
• ½ teaspoon mint leaves
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar
• 2-3 lemon
• Ice, if you like ice tea
  

Instructions :

1. Boil water.
2. Put tea and mint leaves in a scalded teapot.
3. Pour boiling water over the leaves.
4. Allow to stand 3 minutes.
5. Strain before serving.
6. Add honey or sugar and 2-3 drips of lemon. If you like.
7. You can serve in both hot or cold (add some ice).
   

Caution :
Do not put too much mint leave. Your tea will be too harsh to taste. (-_-" I have already tasted it.)


Note :

• Because I like mint so I grew it in a little flowerpot. Then I can pluck it fresh every time I want to use it. However, you can buy mint sprigs from market. Put its in some container with water and place the container in refrigerator. It can be fresh for week.
• You can use both honey or brown sugar depend on your personal taste. Honey could clean your inner organ , help you relax and easy to sleep.
  
• As for brown sugar, I always use brown sugar because it nutrients more than pure white sugar, which is essentially has no flavor other than sweetness.
• Lemons have high vitamin C content and contain unique flavonoid compounds that have antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. (For I myself, I just like the taste of lemon. So, I added it in tea).
