Ingredients

4 qt. Water
8 cups packed fresh Mint Leaves
4 cups White Sugar

Directions

Mint tea made with fresh mint and hot water, in your teacup in less than ten minutes! There’s nothing more comforting than a cup of fresh mint tea.

Fresh mint leaves give this mint tea recipe an alluring herbal aroma and flavour. Since this tea is made with a herb instead of tea leaves, it is considered a herbal tea or tisane and does not contain any caffeine. You can enjoy a cup of mint tea before bed without worries about it keeping you up.

You can vary the mint in this recipe as long as it’s fresh. Peppermint or spearmint are classic choices, but other varieties will work just as well. You can even use a mixture of them.
