How to Make Dried Mint Tea?

Published in Tea Recipes 2 mins read

To make dried mint tea, you need dried mint, hot water, and a strainer. Here's the straightforward process:

Steps to Making Dried Mint Tea:

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: You'll need approximately 1 tablespoon of dried, crushed mint leaves for every 1 cup (8 ounces) of water. Adjust the amount of mint to your taste.

  2. Heat the Water: Bring fresh, filtered water to a rolling boil.

  3. Combine Mint and Water: Place the dried mint leaves in a teapot, tea infuser, or directly into your mug. Pour the boiling water over the mint.

  4. Steep: Allow the mint to steep for about 5 minutes. Steeping longer can result in a stronger flavor.

  5. Strain and Serve: If you added the mint directly to your mug or teapot, use a strainer to remove the leaves before drinking. If you used a tea infuser, simply remove it.

  6. Enjoy: Sip and enjoy your refreshing dried mint tea! You can add honey or lemon to taste, if desired.

Optional Additions:

  • Sweeteners: Honey, sugar, agave nectar, or stevia can be used to sweeten the tea.
  • Lemon: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds a bright, citrusy note.
  • Other Herbs: Experiment with adding other dried herbs like chamomile or lavender for a unique flavor profile.
