Ingredients:

• 1 bunch of fresh mint leaves (about 1 cup, loosely packed)

• 4 cups of water

• 1-2 tablespoons of honey or sugar (optional, to taste)

• Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Steps:

1. Prepare the Mint: Rinse the mint leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residue. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

2. Boil the Water: In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.

3. Steep the Mint: Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the mint leaves. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the mint steep for 5-10 minutes, depending on how strong you want the flavor.

4. Strain the Tea: After steeping, remove the mint leaves by straining the tea through a fine mesh sieve or a tea strainer.

5. Add Sweetener: If desired, stir in honey or sugar to taste while the tea is still warm.

6. Serve: Pour the tea into cups and garnish with lemon slices if you like. Serve hot, or let it cool and serve over ice for a refreshing iced mint tea.

Storing Mint Tea:

• Refrigeration: If you have leftover mint tea or prefer to make it in advance, let it cool to room temperature before transferring it to a clean, airtight container. Store the container in the refrigerator where the tea will keep for up to 5 days.

• Freezing: For longer storage, mint tea can be frozen. Pour the cooled tea into ice cube trays or freezer-safe containers. This is particularly useful for making iced mint tea in the future. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.

• Reheating: When you're ready to enjoy stored mint tea, simply reheat it on the stove over low heat or in the microwave. If using frozen tea, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Mint tea is not only a delightful drink but also an easy and versatile one. With its refreshing taste and minimal ingredients, it's a perfect addition to any meal or a stand-alone treat. Enjoy crafting and savoring this simple yet delightful beverage!
