Girls, this is wonderful! it's a good way to use up that Spearmint :)
Meadow Tea
2 cups fresh mint leaves, washed and packed I use spearmint, it's not as strong and overpowering)
2-2 1/2 cups sugar
4 cups water
Garnish: fresh mint
Place all ingredients in a medium stockpot. Boil for 5 minutes; turn off heat and let stand for 5 hours. Strain through a coffee filter lined sieve, squeezing excess liquid from mint leaves.
To serve: add 1-cup concentrate to 2 quarts of cold water in a pitcher. Serve with ice and a garnish of mint. Makes 4 cups concentrate; about 8 servings per one cup concentrate.
*Concentrate freezes well 
** I have quadrupled the recipe with no problem (my honey loves this stuff!)

This sounds great - but I only have apple mint and chocolate mint and lemon balm - would these work? |
