Wet your whistle with Mint Tea

7 Antworten

Cooking educates. Wet your whistle is an idiom for quenching your thirst with a(n alkoholic) drink. We have a similar expression in German. While weeding the garden I discovered some mint leaves between the upcoming parsley and supposed to be majoram.

I decided to remove the mint sprigs and used the leaves to serve

Instructions

  1. Bring the filtered water to a boil in a tea kettle or saucepan over high heat.
  2. Place the mint sprigs in a heatproof vessel – I used my Morroccan Tea Pot -or divvy the mint sprigs between 2 tea cups or mugs and pour in enough hot water over the mint to fill the cups or mugs. Let the mint steep for 1 to 2 minutes, occasionally tilting the vessel, cups, or mugs to swirl the water against the mint sprigs.
  3. Remove and discard the mint. Serve the mint tea immediately, letting the tea cool slightly before sipping.

    I always steep use my leftover fresh mint for tea. It’s so good hot or iced and so refreshing. So great for digestion too. (And, I am in love with your pretty teapot and mug!) ;-)
