Not sure if we do it correctly, but we usually 1) wash the leaves; 2) pat dry; 3) put in tea pot; 4) pour hot water over the leaves, wait a few minutes to let it steep. I think I remember reading somewhere that if you don't make mint tea properly it'll taste bitter, but so far we haven't had that problem.Bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355455007106339786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-64507728052936667592010-06-15T13:26:07.159-04:002010-06-15T13:26:07.159-04:00Delish!

They make it too sweet. We were in Petersham nurseries last October. For those who has never been, Petersham is very accessible by the London tube and a short bus ride (or walk along the Thames) in Richmond, just outside central London. It's well worth a visit. Other than the transportation cost, it's free to get in and you can all the photographs you want.annechunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459169385864026846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-7474044624662798922010-06-15T09:32:49.712-04:002010-06-15T09:32:49.712-04:00Lovely post,,, when I make fresh loose tea -- I us...Lovely post,,, when I make fresh loose tea -- I use either a Tea Infuser -- that holds the leafs then place in boiling water in the cup or tea pot and let steep for a few minutes depending on the strength you prefer.<br /><br />If it is in a cup you need a lid while it is steeping. As you know from the many tea shops and teapots you have painted over time -- there are teapots that have a tea infuser that fits inside the neck of the teapot for easy removal. <br /><br />Have fun and experiment with different blends till you get your favorite(s). I like Stadsmuis comment on making mint tea -- well every ones comment all sound real good to try.<br /><br />Joannyjoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338150531816845279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-25266431709036731432010-06-15T09:16:26.339-04:002010-06-15T09:16:26.339-04:00Aaaahhhh mint tea!!I like having some after dinner...Aaaahhhh mint tea!!I like having some after dinner with a piece of dark chocolate.<br /><br />Isn't this the best blog ever!!??

Let rest 5 minutes then add the loose tea leaves and lots of cane sugar.Tea in North Africa is deadly sweet. I usually don't have a sweet tooth but I love sweet mint tea. After 5 minutes more you can pour it into cups through a sieve. Enjoy it , I shall certainly do in short time.<br />Thank you very very much for your posts, they are a daily treat for me although I do not comment too often.

I was taught that all you need to do is pack fresh mint with abandon into a teapot, pour hot water over it and wait a few minutes. Works fine with dried mint leaves too. You can also put lose black tea leaves, preferably Darjeeling, into a paper sachet and add it to the mix, but the black tea should be removed after three minutes of steeping.Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-83254741093587419662010-06-15T04:37:28.019-04:002010-06-15T04:37:28.019-04:00All I know is how we make mint tea in Holland: jus...All I know is how we make mint tea in Holland: just boil water and add lots of fresh mint leaves. Delicious! You can buy lots of different kinds of mint plants. I have a pot of maroccan mint on my balcony, which grows abundantly. Pots are always best since mint tends to take over your entire garden if you give it the chance.<br /><br />Good luck and enjoy!<br /><br />Love, DebbyStadsmuissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17214168289779668670noreply@blogger.com
