Cut the twigs of spearmint leaves. Pull leaves off stems and wash leaves. Put leaves in a glass 4 cup measuring cup and pour boiling water over leaves. Add evaporated cane juice sugar. Stir to dissolve sugar. Let steep for 20 minutes. Strain tea into a 2 quart pitcher. Fill pitcher up with water. Serve. Yummy!
The last time we went to Virgina (Nov. 2008) Rob & Sheryl Campbell graciously opened up there home to our family. While we were there, Sheryl made this tea. I have wanted to plant spearmint ever since! :) We just put our spearmint plants in the ground a couple of weeks ago and I just made our first pitcher of spearmint tea. It is SO delicious! Hannah and Daniel love it just as much as I do! Really great stuff. Yum!
Love Always,
Mommy
