Hot Peppermint Tea Recipe

This simple recipe for peppermint tea will let you enjoy the wonderful taste and many health benefits of peppermint tea.

You'll need...

1 peppermint teabag, 1 heaping teaspoon of dried peppermint loose-leaf tea, or a small handful (1 - 2 stalks) of fresh, blemish-free peppermint leaves (why not grow your own?)
8 oz. (about 250 ml) fresh, delicious water, brought just to the boil
Optional additions to taste, such as honey, sugar, citrus, or milk

To make the tea...

If you're using fresh peppermint leaves, rinse the leaves well and then crush them slightly with your hands, the back of a spoon, or a mortar and pestle (this will help to release their lovely fragrance and wonderful beneficial oils).
Add the teabag, loose-leaf tea, or fresh leaves to your favorite cup or mug. (If you're using loose-leaf tea or fresh leaves, an infuser or infuser mug is a great idea)
Cool the just-boiled water slightly (herbal teas are best when steeped in hot, steamy - but not boiling - water), and then add to your cup.
Cover your fragrant peppermint tea and let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes (herbal teas improve with longer steeping times - their flavor is enhanced and you'll enjoy their fullest health benefits). Brew fresh leaves a minute or two longer than dried leaves or a teabag.
Remove the teabag or tea leaves from your cup.
Optional - Add extras of choice, such as honey, milk, or a squeeze of lemon or lime (or both). For a decadent treat, how about adding a slice of orange, a dollop of whipped cream, and a cinnamon stick to your steamy peppermint tea?
Enjoy! Don't forget to inhale your aromatic cup of tea to enjoy peppermint's aromatherapy benefits, as well.

Depending on your taste preferences, you may decide to add more or fewer dried or fresh peppermint tea leaves the next time you try this peppermint tea recipe. It's up to you! :)

This recipe increases so well... and a fragrant, steamy pot of peppermint tea is wonderful to share with a girlfriend or your mom - or, of course, to savor yourself with a few chapters of your favorite book.

Not too cold or too hot...

If you have thyroid concerns and tend to avoid iced or very cold beverages (or just don't like extreme temperatures in your beverages), remember that peppermint tea is a drink that is thoroughly enjoyable and delicious served at room temperature, too.

So many health benefits, too - you can't beat this amazing herbal tea.
