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!)
I have this recipe also and my family goes nuts for this!! My mom has to take big jar of concentrate to work with her and share it with coworkers and clients!!(she is a hair stylist) Everyone loves it!!
