Amish Recipes
I love going to farmer’s markets. One of the stands is actually run by the Amish. I have gotten a few Amish recipes from them.
Apple Mint
One of the Amish recipes I got was when they had fresh mint. One of the mints was apple mint. I never heard of apple mint before.
Mint Iced Tea
The smell of this apple mint was heavenly. The Amish guy told me how to make mint iced tea with it. I decided I want to take his homemade mint iced tea recipe and make it into a sweet tea. I admit I am a sweet tea lover.
Fresh Mint Tea
Fresh, organic, refreshing, natural sweet apple mint tea. Oh is it so refreshing this fresh mint tea is! This mint tea recipe has this cool taste to it. The apple mint really gives the iced tea a whole new taste.
Apple Mint
Why makes the apple mint different than regular mint? To me, apple mint has this sweater taste to it. regular mint can be a bit strong in flavor. So if you want just a hint of mint in your mint iced tea. then apple mint is the perfect choice to use.
How To Make Mint Tea
How to make mint tea? Making a mint tea recipe is actually quite easy. All you need to do is steep the mint in some hot water! It doesn’t get any simpler to make a mint tea!
Mint Iced Tea Recipe Tips
So there are a few tips to make an apple mint tea perfect. So let me give them to you:
- Always wash the apple mint leaves. This should be a no-brainer, but you be surprised at how many posts I have seen where people have not washed mints and herbs and wonder why bugs or dirt in the recipe.
- Best to tear the mint leaves before you steep them into a tea. Tearing releases the oils from the leaves so you have that minty taste.
- Once you steep the tea and remove the leaves, allow the tea to come to cool to room temperature before you add ice.
