When I visit the Amish area here in PA I often buy meadow tea at the local farm stands. It tastes like spearmint and is quite sweet. Does anyone know how to make this? It is delicious, and I've never had it anywhere else but Lancaster County, PA.
Thanks!

I'll give that a try but put it over ice - sounds like that might be just what I'm looking for - thank you so much Karen !

Hi Sharon -
That's exactly what I had - and it was delicious. Now I can't wait to find some mint and make some.
Thank you!

That sounds so good. I have been making tea with mint in it. I will try this with just mint now. Sounds yummy and refreshing on these 100 degree days. Thanks.

I finally made some Meadow Tea from Calicogirl's recipe. I love it! So refreshing for these hot summer days. I will keep my freezer stocked with the concentrate for sure.
Thanks so much for the recipe!

Can anyone share the recipe for Meadow tea? I just heard about this & would love to try making some. I tried to find Calicogirl's blog, but not able to bring anything up.

This is the original recipe I received from my Amish friend in Lancaster County, PA; however, I prefer it with little or no lemon juice, so you will need to experiment for your own taste!
Meadow Tea
1 cup sugar
1 pint water
1 cup fresh tea leaves (peppermint or spearmint)
juice of one lemon water
Stir sugar and pint of water together in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour boiling syrup over tea leaves and let steep 20 minutes. Remove the leaves and let tea cool. Add the lemon juice and enough water to make 1/2 gallon of tea. Serve either hot or cold. Makes 1/2 gallon.
