Christmas Drink #4 - Lemon Mint Tea

Drink # 4 - Lemon Mint Tea


Looking out the window today to see pouring rain & cold winds reminded me that we don't all get a hot Christmas! 
So here's one that all you folk on the other side of the world who have a cold Christmas can enjoy too!



To serve 2 you'll need:

500ml water
2 Tablespoons black tea leaves
1 small lemon
6ish mint leaves
1 teaspoon agave nectar


Juice the lemon & remove most of the zest. 
Tear the mint leaves.
 

Add all ingredients to a small pot & gently bring to the boil.



Remove from heat as soon as it has come to the boil or else the tea will taste bitter. 
 

Strain into a mug.




Add the agave and stir well.



*** Make sure you serve in a Christmas mug ;-)

  1. I keep getting loose leaf tea but don't have a strainer specifically for tea. I think it'll be a necessary buy.
