Okay, guys, let’s talk about my little experiment today – making black tea with mint leaves. I’ve got this mint plant at home, and it’s growing like crazy, so I thought, why not use it in my tea?

Get the Stuff Ready

First things first, I gathered all the stuff I needed. Obviously, fresh mint leaves from my garden were the star. I picked a good handful, enough to make a decent pot of tea. Then, I grabbed my favorite black tea bags – nothing fancy, just the regular kind I always use. I also made sure I had some water and a pot to boil it in.

Make the Tea

So, I started by boiling the water. While waiting, I gave those mint leaves a good rinse under the tap. Just to get rid of any dirt or tiny bugs, you know? Once the water was bubbling, I tossed in the tea bags. Usually, I use two bags for a pot this size.

• Add mint leaves.
• Boil water.
• Put tea bags in the hot water.
• Steep the tea and mint.
• Remove the tea bags.
• Enjoy the tea.

After that, I threw in the mint leaves. I didn’t chop them or anything, just tossed them in whole. I let it all sit there for about, I don’t know, five minutes? I like my tea strong, but you can steep it for less time if you want a milder flavor.

The Result

I poured myself a cup, and man, it was pretty good! The black tea was its usual self, but the mint added this cool, refreshing kick. It was like a regular cup of tea but with a nice little twist. I think I added too much mint leaves. It was a little bit of strong. Not bad. Just strong. But I know how to make it better next time.

This was a fun little thing to try. If you have a mint plant, you should totally give it a shot. It’s super easy, and it makes your tea a bit more exciting. Plus, it feels good to use something you grew yourself, right?

I’ve heard it has many health benefits but I don’t care about that. I just did this for fun.

Next time, I might try adding a bit of honey or lemon. I think that could be really tasty. Anyway, that’s my tea adventure for today. Hope you guys liked it!
