Spearmint tea

🔥 Prep

• Measure out 1 tbsp of spearmint leaves (fresh or dried) and rinse them gently under cold water to remove any debris.
• Measure out 200 ml of water in a measuring cup.

🔥 Cook

• 1. Pour the 200 ml of water into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
• 2. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for 30 seconds to lower the temperature to about 95°C.
• 3. Add the measured 1 tbsp of spearmint leaves to the hot water.
• 4. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the tea steep for 5 minutes to extract flavor.
• 5. After steeping, stir gently and then strain the tea into a cup using a fine-mesh strainer to remove the leaves.

🔥 Serve

• Pour the hot spearmint tea into a warmed mug or glass.
• Optionally add a slice of lemon or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor, if desired.
• Enjoy the refreshing spearmint tea immediately while warm.
