I have this huge peppermint plant in my garden that I hardly use and it tends to want to take over my garden, hmmmm...
So I picked some leaves and gave them a good wash...
I put approximately 1 cup of loose leaves in my tea pot and filled it with almost boiling water.
(now maybe you should dry the leaves before you make tea??
Maybe this fall I'll do that...but it seemed to work with fresh leaves.)
While the tea was seeping I filled my French Press a generous 1/3 full of frozen raspberries that were fresh from my garden last year.
(At this time of the year I am at a loss at what to do with them...as the new ones will be coming in about a month!)
I added about 1 1/2 tbsp of liquid honey (I don't like it real sweet so if you try this you may have to adjust sweetness) to the raspberries, then once the tea had seeped I added it to the frozen raspberries. Wait about 5 minutes and press...
Add ice cubes to tall glasses...
Garnish with mint leaves and there you go!!
Delicious and a great way to use that mint in the garden and last year's frozen raspberries...
When this year's raspberries come we'll try it with fresh ones... and fresh strawberries..
If you try this...let me know how you like it!
