The Goods (Recipe) - Peppermint Tea

This tea is a basic peppermint tea.  I prefer most teas without sugar - so expect a subtle peppermint flavor.

3 Stems of Fresh Peppermint Leaves (~5" Long)
1 c. Water






(1) Wash peppermint leaves and stems.  Mint stems are fine to use in this tea.  

(2) Bring water to a boil.  Boiling water is necessary to extract the oils from the peppermint leaves, so no cutting corners on this step.

(3) Add mint stems and leaves to boiling water and immediately turn off the heat.  Let leaves and stems steep for 5 - 10 minutes.  Strain into a cup and enjoy.
