Preparation
-
Roughly tear the leaves with your hands and place them in a small strainer placed over a teapot or glass bowl.
-
Bring the water to a boil and pour over the leaves. The water should cover the leaves in the strainer. Cover the teapot or bowl and let the leaves steep for at least 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Gently press 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.
-
Let it cool down to < 70°C. Fill the desired amount of Thick & Easy™ Clear into a cup. Pour water into a teacup or mug and sweeten with honey for desired taste.
