1
Prepare the Peppermint Leaves
Rinse 1 cup of fresh peppermint leaves under cool running water to remove any impurities. Gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
2
Boil the Water
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
3
Steep the Peppermint Leaves
Once the water reaches a boil, remove the saucepan from heat. Add the rinsed peppermint leaves to the water. Cover the saucepan and let the leaves steep for about 5-10 minutes, depending on how strong you want the flavor.
4
Strain the Tea
After steeping, use a fine mesh strainer to strain the tea into a teapot or a heatproof pitcher, discarding the leaves.
5
Sweeten and Serve
If desired, add honey to taste and stir until dissolved. Serve hot, garnished with a slice of lemon if you like.
