I can feel my tea choices lightening up as the weather warms. I’m looking up all kinds of iced tea recipes, fruit teas seem really appealing, and lo and behold, this afternoon I’m curious about this mint tea of all things!
Taken with a half teaspoon of sugar.
sip sip…not bad. Between what I’ve heard about gunpowder and not really caring for mint, I was expecting to want to throw this in the sink, but it’s ok. I’m getting the ashtray thing going on at the tail end of my sip. Nothing I’d ever seek out, but I have half of the sample remaining…I think I may mint it up further with some mint from my garden. That might take this atrocious ashtray aftertaste away (alliteration!)!
I was not a fan, either. I’m not sure why. I was lazy when I made my cup, though…I had planned to boil it with sugar in a pot on the stove the way legitimate Moroccan mint tea is made, but didn’t bother. I imagine that would help.
And real mint, of course. Can’t go wrong there!
