Spearmint Tea----only THREE ingredients!

Well, I finaallly got to use some of my herbs!!! Spearmint is the only thing that I didnt start myself! I made some tea with some cuttings, and it's pretty good! The recipe is after all pictures.




Better pic than above!









Ingredients:
  1. Small handful of spearmint leaves, chopped fine, after chopped it measures about 1/4 c. .
  2. Half-gallon of water
  3. 2 1/2 TBS. Agave nectar*

Add chopped leaves to the half-gallon of boiling water. Let steep for about five minutes. Strain; pour in a pitcher. Add Agave Nectar while hot, so it melts and doesn't clump up at the bottom. Stir. Serve with ice.
*Agave Nectar is like a honey, but it comes from a cactus. It is available at Health food stores and Walmarts by the sugar. I used "Light" Agave Nectar for this recipe. You could substitute sugar, of course, but it wouldn't be as healthy!
