Last night I made this yummy tea with mint from my garden. It's the first time I've ever eaten something I've grown. Pure magic....and delicious.
Steep 6 mint leaves in 2 cups boiling-hot water for 1-3 minutes.
Remove leaves
Add a splash of orange juice
Add a swirl of honey.
Stir and enjoy.

what a delightful experience! I always start my day with tea, but I have never tried to make my own before. I'm going to give that a try though, it sounds so easy and rewarding!
