People ask me to make this -- not "if it is no trouble" they out and out ask for it ....
I dehydrate my mint for tea. I have mint growing in the back yard -- great plant thrives WELL.
I cut off the stalks and all rinse in water and place on my dehydrator -- you could low bake them too.
Once dry I strip the leaves from the stems (I throw the stems away). I mince up the leaves -- I just crush with my fingers-- and keep them in a jar or ziploc bag.
I have bumper crops of mint, it needs to be cut down before it flowers and once cut it comes back again this can go on all summer!
I use a
Mr. Coffee Iced Tea pot.
I put a filter in the basket cut open 4 regular tea bags and pour the tea into the filter basket.
I add 3 LARGE pinches of my dried mint
and a scant 1/4 cup sugar.
Place another filter on top to keep tea and mint from floating into the tea under the filter.
Make tea as per directions on the pot.
Makes 2 quarts
