Should I cut Spearmint leaves up into tiny bits, or move off them adjectives when making tea? I chopped them up little last time, and I didn't similar...
I chopped them up little last time, and I didn't similar to the taste of the tea. It be too...green? Any suggestions? Thanks!
Answers: whole... I love my tea next to fresh spearmint...
I usually will cut the tip off a plant = perchance 3-4 leaves (when you are looking at the plant it looks like 2 leaves, but the tip have a couple that aren't fully grown yet)
put it in the cup first later your ice cubes... presently you have a choice... you can pilfer a knife or fork or spoon and type of press on the leave purely a bit to get it to release the spearmint or only go ahead and pour your tea (try lemonaide too) on it. Then if in that isn't enough spearmint flavor you can press the leaves, stir and appetite again till you get a short time ago the right amount flavor in it.
The correct road to add a distinct minty flavor is to simmer leaves and sugar together and make the addition of the syrup to brewed tea. The fresh whole leaves are added for accessories.
